“Can real-time merchant-issuer collaboration at network scale eliminate chargebacks before they happen and redefine the post-purchase experience?”
Ethoca was founded as a collaboration-based technology company connecting merchants and card issuers to combat fraud through a shared intelligence network. After Mastercard acquired it in 2019, Ethoca was integrated into Mastercard's cybersecurity and fraud prevention portfolio, evolving from a standalone network into a suite of dispute-management and consumer-clarity products embedded within Mastercard's global infrastructure. Its core value proposition shifted from pure fraud-alert to a broader post-purchase experience and chargeback-prevention platform operating at network scale.
Ethoca is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
