# Payment Method Type

A type of payment method that a customer can use for making payments.

A **payment method type** is a type of payment method that any customer can use, for example, **ee_mastercard_card**, Mastercard for Estonia. When it is added to a customer profile, it becomes a **payment method** that is specific to that one customer.
