While increased vaccination and easing of pandemic-related curbs powered the recovery in spending, it was slightly dented by a surge in infections from the Omicron variant toward the end of the fourth quarter.

Gross dollar volumes, which represents the dollar value of the transactions processed, jumped 23 per cent to US$2.1 trillion from a year earlier. Cross border volumes, a key metric that track card spending beyond the country of issue, rose 53 per cent.

"We had a strong fourth quarter as spending trends continued to improve, with Q4 cross-border spending now above pre-pandemic levels," Chief Executive Michael Miebach said.

Operating expenses, however, rose 16 per cent from a year earlier to US$2.4 billion, dragging shares down 1.35 per cent to US$340.

The results were similar to rival American Express, which beat quarterly profit estimates on record levels of spending through its cards.

Mastercard's net revenue rose 27 per cent to US$5.2 billion, above estimates of US$5.16 billion.
