Revenues of MasterCard in 2000

Since MasterCard is planning to convert from a membership organization to a private-share corporation, it has filed documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission that reveal, among other things, the regional sources of its revenues. As may be seen in the accompanying table, two-thirds of its revenues come from the United Sates, with the next largest source, Europe, accounting for about 12 percent of all revenues. According to CardLine, the fastest growth in volume was in Canada, with revenues in 2000 that were up 31.3 percent over 1999.
