Today, SumUp and Mastercard are announcing their new payment services tailored for Ford commercial vehicles in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

With this new solution, small business owners that typically use commercial vehicles – including food trucks, beverage suppliers, mobile florists and other tradespeople – can accept card payments directly from their vehicles.

One of the main advantages of this solution is that it gives entrepreneurs the ability to accept payments from their customers immediately, rather than waiting for an invoice to be paid at a later date.

As a leading payment facilitator, Mastercard Inc. MA has been gaining from a shift in payments to online and digital modes from the physical ones. The transition to electronic payment has been consistent from the past many years and the COVID-19 episode further accelerated this trend.

Per the National Retail Federation (NRF) forecast, the 2020 holiday sales season is expected to be very strong. Additionally, since most people are doing much of their shopping online, Mastercard’s U.S. transaction volumes are likely to witness a surge in the fourth quarter of 2020.

According to NRF, holiday sales (in November and December) will grow 3.6% to 5.2% this year from the last five-year average of 3.5% and the reading of 4% recorded last year. Also, social distancing and preference for digital channels will lead to a 20-30% increase in non-store sales (including e-commerce, curbside pickup, etc.).
