Mastercard renforce l’offre de paiement mobile au Maroc avec l’arrivée de Samsung Pay

Casablanca, Maroc. - mercredi, 04. novembre 2026

Cette collaboration élargit l’accès à des paiements mobiles sécurisés et tokenisés pour les utilisateurs Samsung éligibles, accélérant la transition du Maroc vers une économie numérique plus inclusive.

 

Mastercard accompagne le lancement de Samsung Pay au Maroc, élargissant le choix des consommateurs grâce à des paiements mobiles sécurisés et pratiques. Avec la technologie de tokenisation de Mastercard, les titulaires de cartes Mastercard éligibles auprès des banques participantes peuvent utiliser des appareils Samsung compatibles pour effectuer leurs paiements, alliant la praticité du quotidien à une protection des paiements intégrée.

Ce lancement s’inscrit dans la continuité du travail mené par Mastercard avec les institutions financières et les partenaires technologiques pour faire progresser l’écosystème des paiements numériques au Maroc. En rendant ses capacités compatibles à Samsung Pay, Mastercard offre aux consommateurs davantage de solutions de paiement et contribue à ancrer le paiement numérique dans leurs achats du quotidien.

Samsung Pay s’appuie sur les capacités de tokenisation déjà déployées par Mastercard au Maroc. La technologie qui sous-tend ces paiements remplace les données sensibles de la carte par un jeton numérique unique, contribuant ainsi à protéger les identifiants de paiement lors des transactions. Les dispositifs d’authentification et de protection fondés sur l’analyse des risques offrent des niveaux de sécurité supplémentaires, permettant aux consommateurs de payer facilement et en toute confiance.

Ce lancement reflète également l’ambition mondiale de Mastercard de tokeniser 100 % des transactions en ligne d’ici 2030. En collaboration avec l’ensemble des partenaires technologiques, Mastercard continue de rendre les paiements numériques à la fois plus sûrs et plus simples à utiliser.

Mohamed Benomar, Country Manager pour l’Afrique du Nord-Ouest, Mastercard, a déclaré : « Chez Mastercard, nous croyons en un avenir des paiements qui offre à chacun plus de choix, plus de simplicité et davantage de confiance à chaque transaction.  Accompagner Samsung Pay au Maroc constitue une nouvelle étape importante pour élargir l’accès à des expériences de paiement numérique sécurisées, grâce à notre technologie de tokenisation : Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES). Au-delà de l’introduction d’un nouveau moyen de paiement, notre ambition est de rendre les paiements numériques plus rapides, plus simples et plus sûrs. »

Pour les consommateurs, Samsung Pay permet de payer avec un appareil Samsung compatible, sans avoir besoin de carte physique pour les transactions prises en charge. Les institutions financières participantes peuvent proposer une expérience de paiement numérique supplémentaire à leurs titulaires de cartes éligibles, tandis que les commerçants équipés pour le paiement sans contact peuvent accepter cette nouvelle option de paiement. Ensemble, ces capacités élargissent le choix dans l’ensemble de l’écosystème des paiements.

« Avec Samsung Pay, nous voulons que payer devienne aussi naturel qu’utiliser son smartphone ou sa montre connectée. Ce lancement marque une nouvelle étape dans notre engagement à offrir aux utilisateurs Galaxy des innovations simples, sécurisées et réellement utiles au quotidien. Nous tenons à remercier les banques participantes et Mastercard pour leur confiance et leur collaboration, et nous sommes fiers de contribuer à cette transformation digitale », a déclaré Hongseok Lee, Président de Samsung Electronics Maghreb Arab.

Mastercard et Samsung déploieront également une campagne conjointe au Maroc pour accélérer l’adoption de Samsung Pay au quotidien.

Mastercard Expands Mobile Payment Choice in Morocco with Samsung Pay

Casablanca, Morocco - Wednesday, 04. November 2026 

Collaboration expands access to secure, tokenized mobile payments for eligible Samsung users, accelerating Morocco’s shift toward a more inclusive digital economy

 

Mastercard is supporting the launch of Samsung Pay in Morocco, expanding consumer choice through secure, convenient mobile payments. Enabled by Mastercard’s tokenization technology, eligible Mastercard cardholders at participating banks can use compatible Samsung devices to make payments, bringing together everyday convenience and built-in payment protection.

The launch builds on Mastercard’s work with financial institutions and technology partners to advance Morocco’s digital payments ecosystem. By extending its capabilities to Samsung Pay, Mastercard is broadening the range of payment options available to consumers and supporting the continued integration of digital payments into everyday commerce.

Samsung Pay builds on Mastercard’s established tokenization capabilities in Morocco. The technology underpinning these payments replaces sensitive card details with a unique digital token, helping protect payment credentials during transactions. Authentication and risk-based safeguards provide additional layers of protection, helping consumers pay conveniently and with confidence.

The launch also reflects Mastercard's global ambition to tokenize 100% of online transactions by 2030. Working with financial institutions and technology partners, Mastercard continues to make digital payments both more secure and simpler to use.

Mohamed Benomar, Country Manager of North West Africa, Mastercard, said, “At Mastercard, we believe the future of payments should give people more choice, greater convenience and confidence in every transaction. Supporting Samsung Pay in Morocco is another important step in expanding access to secure digital payment experiences, underpinned by our tokenization technology: Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES). Beyond introducing another way to pay, our ambition is to make digital payments faster, simpler, and more secure.”

For consumers, Samsung Pay means paying with a compatible Samsung device, with no physical card needed for supported transactions. Participating financial institutions can extend an additional digital payment experience to eligible cardholders, while merchants accepting supported contactless payments can accommodate this additional payment option. Together, these capabilities expand choice across the payment ecosystem.

"With Samsung Pay, we want making a payment to feel as natural as using your smartphone or smartwatch. This launch marks another step in our commitment to providing Galaxy users with innovations that are simple, secure, and genuinely useful in everyday life. We would like to thank participating banks and Mastercard for their trust and collaboration, and we are proud to contribute to this digital transformation" said Hongseok Lee, President of Samsung Electronics Maghreb Arab.

Mastercard and Samsung will also roll out a joint campaign in Morocco to accelerate the everyday adoption of Samsung Pay, combining promotional activity with consumer education on how to pay simply and securely with compatible Samsung devices. The initiative aims to support the long-term growth of digital payments across the country.

New platform packages include Edwin AI and Digital Experience at every tier, uniting signals, context and governed action on one licensing model

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- LogicMonitor®, the AI-first platform for Autonomous IT, today announced new platform packages that make Edwin AI and LogicMonitor Digital Experience, including Synthetics and Internet Sonar, standard in every tier. By bringing full digital experience and internet health visibility together with AI-driven operations in every package, LogicMonitor helps teams connect what users experience to the signals behind it and move toward a governed next step.

AI is now essential to modern IT operations, yet too often, the capabilities needed to put it into practice remain fragmented across tools and licensing models. As enterprises move toward Autonomous IT, access to AI-driven intelligence and end-to-end visibility must become the foundation, not an added layer of complexity.

“IT teams don't need more separate Observability tools with AI bolted on; they need a connected operating model,” said Garth Fort, chief product officer at LogicMonitor. “Every package now brings LogicMonitor Envision, Digital Experience and Edwin AI together, with included allowances that scale by tier, so teams can start with connected visibility and advance toward governed automation at their own pace, with people in control.”

One Platform. Three Tiers.

LogicMonitor introduced the Hybrid Unit and platform packages in September 2025. Hybrid Units give customers a flexible way to measure monitoring across their full IT estate as it evolves. Since launch, LogicMonitor has sold more than 826,000 Hybrid Units, and more than 90% of new customers this year have chosen platform pricing, including enterprises and managed service providers worldwide.

The three Logic Monitor platform tiers are Essentials, Advanced and Signature. Edwin AI’s event intelligence, automation, AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) access draw on one AI Credit allowance. LogicMonitor Digital Experience includes Synthetics and Internet Sonar, with points and storage scaling by tier:

LM Essentials helps teams resolve issues faster with AI assistance and visibility across hybrid infrastructure and online services. It includes 20 AI Credits and 100 Synthetics Points per Hybrid Unit, with 120 days of Synthetics storage.

LM Advanced helps teams deliver dependable services and streamline daily operations with AI insights and governed automation. It includes 75 AI Credits and 250 Synthetics Points per Hybrid Unit, with 13 months of Synthetics storage.

LM Signature helps teams make always-on services more reliable with service-centric operations and AI that supports greater, governed autonomy. It includes 150 AI Credits and 500 Synthetics Points per Hybrid Unit, with three years of Synthetics storage.

The new packages are available today. Learn more at logicmonitor.com/pricing.

(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE: EL) today announced its fiscal 2030 ambition at its Capital Markets Experience: China Ecosystem Immersion event in Shanghai, China. Stéphane de La Faverie, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Akhil Shrivastava, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, outlined the Company’s targets, including its plans to build on the progress of its Beauty Reimagined strategic vision and the execution of its One ELC operating model to deliver sustainable growth while continuing to drive stronger operating leverage and expanded profitability.

“We are now entering a new chapter, moving beyond restoring growth to accelerating sustainable, profitable growth and creating long-term value. Our fiscal 2027 outlook reflects this momentum, with accelerating organic sales growth and another year of significant profitability improvement,” said Stéphane de La Faverie, President and CEO.

“Today, with growing confidence in the strength of Beauty Reimagined and the impact of our One ELC operating model, we are introducing our fiscal 2030 ambition: to deliver sustainable mid-single-digit organic sales growth annually and double-digit adjusted EPS growth through fiscal 2030, while achieving an adjusted operating margin of 16.5%-18.5% in fiscal 2030.”

de La Faverie emphasized, “We are becoming a faster, more agile and more consumer-centric company, with the creativity, entrepreneurial mindset and operational discipline to win in a rapidly evolving beauty landscape. We have laid the foundation, we are building momentum, and I firmly believe the best of The Estée Lauder Companies is yet to come.”

THE NEXT CHAPTER OF GROWTH

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. provided the building blocks of its fiscal 2030 ambition, including:

Beauty Reimagined momentum delivering broad-based sales growth across product categories and geographic regions by:

Expanding consumer reach and conversion through best-in-class consumer coverage

Recruiting and retaining consumers through transformative innovation

The Company’s fiscal 2030 ambition reflects its focus on diversifying sales growth, expanding margins and strengthening cash generation.

The Company’s ambitions reflect the following assumptions:

Sustainable mid-single-digit organic net sales growth through fiscal 2030:

More diversified growth across product categories and geographic regions, reflecting greater balance among brands and between the East and West

Adjusted operating margin of 16.5%-18.5% in fiscal 2030, reflecting:

Greater margin expansion in fiscal year 2028, relative to fiscal years 2029 and 2030, reflecting a full-year run-rate of benefits from the final execution of initiatives approved under the Company’s PRGP through fiscal 2027

Continued incremental reduction in non-consumer-facing expenses through everyday efficiencies

Continued consumer-facing investment to fuel sales growth

Improvement to the Company’s adjusted effective tax rate, reaching 30% or below by fiscal 2030

Through fiscal 2030, the Company expects higher earnings, lower restructuring payments and continued working capital efficiencies to strengthen operating cash flow and, together with optimization of capital expenditures, to increase free cash flow

Double-digit adjusted diluted net earnings per share growth through fiscal 2030

WEBCAST DETAILS

Interested parties can access the live webcast on Wednesday, November 4th, beginning at 1:00 p.m. China Standard Time (12:00 a.m. ET) at Investors – The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. A replay of the webcast will be archived on the site.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including organic net sales, adjusted operating margin, adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted diluted net earnings per common share. Organic net sales represents net sales excluding returns associated with restructuring and other activities; non-comparable impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and brand closures; as well as the impact from foreign currency translation. The Company anticipates a net sales impact from the acquisition of Forest Essentials in fiscal 2028 related to the fiscal 2028 first quarter which is not able to be forecasted at this time with reasonable certainty, nor is it able to forecast the impact of foreign currency with reasonable certainty. Additionally, the Company expects charges from restructuring and other activities of approximately $40 million to $50 million, before taxes, in fiscal 2028, which are currently expected to impact operating margin, effective tax rate and diluted net earnings per common share, and are excluded from these forward-looking metrics. In isolation, the Company’s estimated charges from restructuring and other activities are not expected to impact the projected improvements in these metrics, on a reported basis compared to as adjusted. The Company does not provide full reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain other amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all adjustments needed in order to provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures at this time. The amount of these adjustments may be material and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP financial measures being materially different or less than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this press release, in particular those in “Fiscal 2030 Ambition,” as well as remarks by the CEO and other members of management, may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may address the Company’s expectations regarding sales, earnings or other future financial performance and liquidity, other performance measures, product introductions, entry into new geographic regions, information technology initiatives, new methods of sale, the Company’s long-term strategy, restructuring and other charges and resulting cost savings, and future operations or operating results.

Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, actual results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, without limitation:

(1)

Rimini Street Awarded CANUT Third-Party Maintenance Framework Agreement

 

LAS VEGAS -

This framework agreement provides all entities subject to the French Public Procurement Code with simplified access to a support alternative enabling them to control their costs, preserve their freedom of technological choice and free themselves from vendor-imposed upgrade cycles

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), the Software Support and Agentic AI ERP Company™ and the leading third-party support provider for Oracle, SAP and VMware software, today announced that it had been selected as the awardee of the third-party support service lots (TMA) by CANUT, the French public purchasing center specializing in digital technology and telecommunications.

Eligible public organizations subject to the French Public Procurement Code can now benefit from Rimini Street services for their Oracle, SAP, VMware and IBM environments, without having to go through a lengthy individual tender process. Through Rimini Support™, organizations gain access to a support alternative enabling them to significantly reduce their historical support costs, improve service quality and support responsiveness, while retaining their perpetual licenses and control over the evolution of their existing systems.

The Benefits of Rimini Support™ for the Public Sector

In the context of government initiatives aimed at strengthening French digital sovereignty and reducing dependence on major international vendors, many public administrations and organizations are re-examining their application strategies. They face growing constraints: increasing maintenance costs, vendor-dictated roadmaps and less control over the evolution of their systems.

Rimini Street offers a proven alternative to the traditional vendor maintenance model. By simply replacing their current support contract with Rimini Support™, organizations can benefit from:

Immediate and significant savings on annual support fees

Custom code fixes at no additional cost

Tax, legal and regulatory updates for compliance

A named Primary Support Engineer, backed by a team of more than 800 experts providing 24/7/365 coverage

Guaranteed 10-minute response time for priority cases, delivered on average in less than 2 minutes

Commitment to resolution within 4 hours for critical cases, with proactive follow-up every two hours

Human-centered support experience, enhanced by automation and advanced analytics based on proprietary patented AI

“For public organizations, the essential criteria are value creation, regulatory compliance and the ability to react quickly when needed, while retaining genuine freedom of decision,” said Hervé Grandjean, IT buyer within CANUT. “The offering proposed by Rimini Street meets these expectations. Thanks to this pre-qualified solution available through CANUT, public and private non-profit organizations now have a concrete alternative to traditional support models, which are often characterized by dependence on a single vendor and a lack of flexibility. The potential savings can be immediately reinvested in high-value modernization and innovation projects.”

Simplified Access to a Strategic Alternative for the Public Sector

The award of the TMA lots to Rimini Street under CANUT’s “TMA-SAM-MCO” framework agreement broadens the options available to French public organizations. It enables them to create budgetary and operational flexibility to focus more resources on their strategic priorities, particularly digital sovereignty.

“France’s stated intention to strengthen its digital sovereignty represents a major development for the entire European public sector,” said Martyn Hoogakker, GVP and theatre general manager, EMEA, Rimini Street. “Public institutions must be able to define their technology path according to their needs and priorities, rather than according to commercial timetables imposed by vendors. The framework established with CANUT provides direct and compliant access to a support model enabling CIOs to regain control of their roadmap, optimize their spending and reallocate their resources to strategic initiatives. Present in France since 2017 with a local entity, an office in Paris and dedicated teams, Rimini Street is committed to a long-term approach serving French public-sector organizations.”
