Key idiosyncratic risks

On AI and data regulation:

In addition, laws and regulations on AI, data governance and credit decisioning may overlap or conflict with, or diverge from, general privacy rules.

Source: risk; filed 2026-02-11; SEC filing; fact QUOTE_MA_RISK_20.

On payment regulation:

Moreover, several jurisdictions are demonstrating increased interest about the network fees we charge to our customers (in some cases as part of broader market reviews of retail payments), which could in the future lead to regulation relating to our network fees.

Source: risk; filed 2026-02-11; SEC filing; fact QUOTE_MA_RISK_1.

On surcharge rules:

Additionally, our no-surcharge rules now permit U.S. and Canadian merchants to surcharge credit cards (subject to certain limitations).

Source: risk; filed 2026-02-11; SEC filing; fact QUOTE_MA_RISK_14.

Recent developments

On cross-border volume movement:

The increase was primarily driven by growth in domestic and cross-border dollar volumes and an increase in the number of switched transactions, reflecting growth trends across all of our key drivers.
