Working at MasterCard

NOT JUST SHAPING THE FUTURE. CHANGING IT.

Here at MasterCard, we work at the heart of commerce. While our people around the world may be engaged in any number of interesting and exciting projects at any given time, we all work with one overriding goal: to make our customers' lives easier. If you thrive on the challenge of constantly changing things for the better, welcome!

BEHIND THE BRAND

Given that ours is one of the world's most recognizable brand names, it's understandable that many people think "credit card" when they hear "MasterCard." But as you might expect from the company known for pioneering dramatic changes in the world of commerce, MasterCard's range of business disciplines—and opportunities—reach far beyond the plastic. Here's a sampling:

MASTERCARD ADVISORS
Insights to move business forward

PRICELESS EXPERIENCES
Portal to special deals and benefits

Priceless is more than our world-famous television commercials. It has become synonymous with the special benefits and once-in-a-lifetime experiences available to MasterCard customers. Our most recent example is the exciting "Priceless Cities" campaign, offering MasterCard cardholders inside tips on making visits to the world's greatest cities, well, priceless.

SECURITY AND FRAUD PROTECTION
Ensuring peace of mind

The exponential growth and complexity of payment options has made security and fraud protection mission-critical for today's financial institutions and merchants. MasterCard is an industry leader in safeguarding cardholder data through such innovations as the first tamper-evident signature panel, the use of three-dimensional holograms and advanced fraud prevention and detection technology.

Ideas are the lifeblood of our company. We constantly challenge the established ways of doing things to find new ways to help our customers. This commitment has led to not only the world's fastest payments process network, but also to the development of some of today's most innovative products and services—from the "tap and go" convenience of PayPass to systems-wide solutions that help corporations fight fraud and manage their data more effectively. Here are a few examples of innovation in action:

MASTERCARD LABS

ADVANCING INNOVATION. ADVANCING COMMERCE.

Diversity and Innovation Go Hand-in-Hand

At MasterCard Worldwide, we regard diversity as the root of innovation. As such, it is a critical element for developing creative, breakthrough responses to the needs of our customers and other stakeholders, thereby achieving our Vision of a "World Beyond Cash".

DONNA JOHNSON, CHIEF DIVERSITY OFFICER

"At MasterCard, our Diversity and Inclusion initiative enables employees to harness their unique skills to enhance our products and services to ensure our global reach."

AJAY BANGA, PRESIDENT AND CEO

"As a company, we believe diversity sits at the root of innovation. Diversity of culture, experience and thought all drive innovative thinking. That's why we encourage employees to express their diverse opinions and ideas. We want them to feel empowered and to recognize that their contributions

IN TODAY'S EVER-CHANGING GLOBAL MARKETPLACE, A DIVERSE WORKFORCE IS NOT MERELY AN ASSET—IT'S A NECESSITY.

MasterCard Worldwide has put a premium on nurturing an inclusive culture where employees with wide-ranging backgrounds and qualities are highly motivated, engaged and connected.

Winning companies always want to hire top talent. At MasterCard, however, we take that concept a step further. Our culture is built on the fundamental belief that only by bringing together people with a variety of strengths, skills and experiences will we best be able to meet the unique payment needs of those we serve.

From such diversity comes the capacity to truly understand and appreciate the differences in our customers, merchants and cardholders around the globe. That, in turn, leads to the generation of innovative ideas and the ability to see the future in perceptive, ground-breaking ways.

We are proud to be not only a leader in the global payments industry, but also an "employer of choice" where the best and brightest prefer to work. They do so because they know that our culture of inclusion provides opportunities for growth, fulfillment and, ultimately, career success.

BUSINESS RESOURCE GROUPS

To compete in today's complex, ever-changing global marketplace, a diverse workforce is not merely an asset-it's a necessity. That is why MasterCard Worldwide has put a premium on nurturing an inclusive culture where employees with wide-ranging backgrounds and qualities find themselves highly motivated, engaged, and connected.

We leverage the unique strengths, views, and experiences of our employees through our support of Business Resource Groups (BRGs). These self-governed groups are comprised of individuals who come together based on similar interests or experiences, such as gender or ethnicity. BRG members help us to identify business programs that address the needs of diverse consumers by providing feedback on new ideas and initiatives, partnering with specific organizations, and reaching out to their communities. In turn, employees in BRGs gain an opportunity to enhance their cultural awareness, develop leadership skills, and network with colleagues across all business units and at all levels, including senior leadership.

At present, MasterCard has eight BRGs, with participation in each being voluntary and open to anyone interested in furthering the group's objectives.

WORK THAT MATTERS—ON THE JOB AND IN THE COMMUNITY.

Working at MasterCard is not routine, and it's certainly not predictable. There's an energy and focus that comes with being immersed in interesting projects at a company dedicated to improving both the world of commerce and the lives of its people and communities. Plus, there's the added excitement of learning from and collaborating with smart people from around the world—all at the speed needed to be market leaders.

Scholarships for Children of MasterCard Employees. The MasterCard Scholarship Program fosters academic excellence and helps employees with the cost of their children's undergraduate college education. Each year, the program awards a one-time scholarship to 10 eligible children.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
Making it easy to give back
