Mastercard is planning to develop three new data centers in France with plans to invest around €250 million ($289.81m) in the data centers, which will build on around a dozen data centers already operating in Europe.
In a company announcement written by Kelly Devine, Mastercard's president of Europe, the company said of the expansion: "That’s why we’re transforming our technology footprint, enabling the localization of our payments infrastructure to create a sustainable, distributed network that can run anywhere. This means always-on infrastructure and reduced vulnerability and greater resilience to natural or geopolitical events."
While Mastercard states it has more than a dozen data centers currently operating in Europe, the locations of these facilities are not shared. Globally, the company operated some 60 data centers in late 2024, according to an interview with CTO of operations George Maddeloni.
