Mastercard is to set up its new global office for the company’s technology operations headquarters in Dublin. A key focus of the new HQ, which will employ over 130 highly skilled workers, will be on mobile and wave & pay solutions.
“[We] are a technology company that happens to be in the payments space,” says Rob Reeg, president, MasterCard Technologies. “We see consumers moving toward a world beyond cash, shopping and paying for the things that matter to them in ways that best fit their needs and lifestyles with a simple tap, click or touch in-store, online or on a mobile device,” adds Reeg.
The company has had an office in the city since it acquired technology company Orbiscom in 2008. The expansion, supported by IDA Ireland, will bring the total number of people employed in Ireland to approximately 200.

The jobs
Jobs will be available in three key divisions of the Mastercard tech HQ.
• MasterCard Labs – MasterCard Labs is headed up globally by Garry Lyons, the former CEO of Orbiscom and MasterCard’s chief innovation officer, who is based in the Dublin office.
• Center of Excellence for Java Development – The Dublin office has been designated as MasterCard’s Center of Excellence for Java Development, a programming language for ecommerce, mobile and other emerging payment technologies.
• inControl – MasterCard’s inControl platform team will be based in the Dublin office. inControl is a product to help customers set custom controls on usage of their credit, debit and prepaid cards.
