## Source summary

A company announcement republished by Finextra says Tribe Payments is supplying MADFIN with processing-centre services and a merchant plug-in for 3-D Secure authentication, supporting authorization, clearing, fraud controls and card-scheme compliance for MADFIN's U.K. acquiring operation. MADFIN says its Mastercard integration took under two months, Visa onboarding followed within a year, and volume processed through Tribe has grown by an average of 20% month over month since launch.

## Why it matters

The partnership is an operating infrastructure deployment for a new acquirer, not merely a memorandum. Its timing and growth figures come only from MADFIN and lack a disclosed base, measurement period, absolute volume or independent audit. Apple Pay and Google Pay integrations are described as being explored, not live. The current scope is U.K. acquiring and does not itself establish a cross-border corridor.

## Key numbers

- **Mastercard integration time stated by MADFIN:** under 2 months
- **Visa onboarding timing stated:** within 1 year
- **Average processed-volume growth claimed by MADFIN:** 20% month over month; base and period undisclosed

## Topics and entities

- Industry lane: Payment infrastructure
- Entities: MADFIN / Tribe Payments
- Payment infrastructure

## Evidence and credibility note

Company-authored announcement republished without independent editing by Finextra; a second publication carries materially identical distribution copy. Integration and growth claims are attributable to MADFIN and Tribe and are not independently measured.
