(Reuters) - Mastercard on Thursday reported a rise in third-quarter profit, as strength in consumer spending held up against fears of an economic slowdown.
The company reported a profit of $3.2 billion, or $3.39 per share, for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with $2.5 billion, or $2.58 per share, a year earlier.
