GoFundraise, Australia’s leading digital fundraising platform, is thrilled to announce the implementation of Mastercard’s suite of innovative payment technologies aimed at transforming how Australians donate online. This collaboration with Mastercard brings together Mastercard Click to Pay, Mastercard Secure Card on File and Mastercard payment passkeys service — delivering a faster, safer, and smarter way to support charitable causes.  

Mastercard’s technology stack brings powerful benefits to donors and nonprofits alike: 

• Click to Pay eliminates friction at checkout—no passwords or card numbers needed. 

• Secure Card on File ensures saved card information is protected and up-to-date, enabling frictionless repeat donations and subscriptions. 

• Token Authentication Services authenticates cardholders with device biometrics for their online transactions   

Stuart Finlayson, CEO of GoFundraise shared his excitement in the collaboration: “At GoFundraise, we are committed to providing our users with the most secure and seamless payment experiences. We are proud to be at the forefront of payment innovation by enabling authenticated token payments through Mastercard’s payment passkey technology. By bringing Mastercard’s latest payment innovations into our platform, we’re giving donors a secure, seamless experience and amplifying the impact of every donation.” 

To mark this milestone, Mastercard is offering a $5 donation boost for every contribution made using Click to Pay with Mastercard through GoFundraise. This exclusive offer is prominently promoted across social channels and directly featured on donation widgets on all donation and fundraising pages, ensuring donors are instantly aware of how their contribution can amplify support for the causes they care about most. This offer is available until August 31, 2025, or while promotional funds last. 

Surin Fernando, Senior Vice President, Customer Solutions Centre, Australasia, at Mastercard, said: “Through this collaboration we are evolving digital giving, making it faster, simpler and more secure. As donors look for safe and effortless ways to give, GoFundraise has leveraged best-in-class capabilities for the next generation of retailers, marketplaces and donation platforms. Built on advanced tokenisation and the latest Payment Passkey technology, you can now donate using biometric checkout, allowing you to give securely using your face or fingerprint. It’s fast, safe, and as effortless as a smile.” 

GoFundraise’s implementation of Mastercard’s payment technology marks a significant step forward in the evolution of secure and user-friendly payment solutions. By adopting this cutting-edge technology, GoFundraise is ensuring that its users can enjoy faster, simpler, and more secure transactions, paving the way for a more connected and resilient future.
