Mastercard has proposed paying Brazilian merchant acquirers half of the amount they demanded following the collapse of Will Financeira (Will Bank), a FinTech linked to the failed Banco Master. The offer also includes providing fraud protection services for several years. This follows Mastercard settling about half of the $950 million owed due to Will Bank's January collapse and disputing the remaining amount with acquirers. Mastercard is coordinating with the liquidator and regulator and awaits further funds before finalizing settlements.
