Mastercard, Visa, and American Express are working together to bring its "Click to Pay" online checkout to Canada and other countries for a more straightforward online checkout experience. Aside from simplicity, it secures online transactions across the web and mobile sites by taking out the time-consuming entry of personal account numbers and information. The feature is meant to mirror the checkout process in physical stores where a single terminal accepts different cards.

With the increase of e-commerce activity, Click to Pay hopes to offer a consistent online experience through all types of digital channels. The press release didn't state when it will be available, but the companies said they started technical preparations for its launch.
