[UK] Mastercard and OnePay launch near real-time payroll remittances for unbanked workers

Mastercard has announced a partnership with OnePay, a UK-based payroll and remittance provider focused on supporting unbanked workers, FinTech Global reports.

The focus of the partnership will be to enhance cross-border payment access for UK-based temporary and migrant workers, according to reporting from FF News.

By integrating Mastercard Move into OnePay’s existing payroll offering, the companies reportedly aim to simplify and speed up remittance payments. The integration will enable users to send money abroad with near real-time processing, increased transparency, and clear cost visibility, addressing the dual need for domestic wage management and international support.

Mastercard Move is a cross-border transfer platform which offers senders real-time payment tracking, upfront fee disclosures, and accurate delivery timelines. The system’s integration into the OnePay infrastructure allows workers to send money from their OnePay digital account and have it arrive quickly in dozens of international markets; empowering workers to support family members at home more efficiently and with greater confidence.

OnePay will provide a Mastercard prepaid card and digital account designed for workers without access to mainstream banking. There are no credit checks involved, and accounts can be opened swiftly, offering features such as a multilingual mobile app and online portal. These tools reportedly enable users to manage funds, track spending, and handle financial tasks in their native languages.

Darren Deal - Mastercard SVP fintech, government & digital partnerships, UKI - said, “Every year, remittances serve as a vital source of income for millions of families worldwide. By embedding Mastercard Move into OnePay’s account and card solution, people have a faster, safer, and more transparent way to send money home. This is yet another example of the role that innovative fintechs can play in enabling financial inclusion across the UK.”

Lee Hartley - OnePay CEO - said, “At OnePay we have always focused on removing the barriers that many workers face when accessing and managing their money. By integrating Mastercard Move into our solution we are not only making it faster and easier for our customers to support their families back home, we are giving them greater control and peace of mind. This collaboration is a natural step forward in our mission to create fairer and more inclusive financial services for those who need them most.”
