Innovators at heart

Innovation is at the heart of Mastercard’s 50-year history. We take an innovative, value-driven approach to the solutions we create and services we offer, making transactions faster, easier, and more convenient and secure.

One of the many ways in which we innovate is through our culture and people. We hire talented, inventive employees such as those in our Labs group, headquartered in Dublin. We also encourage all employees to participate in efforts that cultivate innovation in local communities such as STEM programmes. In addition, we showcase innovation through products such as MasterpassTM and tokenisation that powers solutions like Apple PayTM and Android PayTM to deliver value to consumers, retailers and banks alike. And, through outreach to developers and entrepreneurs, we are helping to facilitate improvements across the payments ecosystem that will generate future innovations.

Mastercard's Dublin Tech Hub

Mastercard Ireland opened its operations in 2008 with 36 staff and since then has grown to over 650 people. Today, it is a vibrant, multi-cultural hub that attracts passionate technologists from Ireland, across Europe, and indeed the world. This is testament to the investment, innovative work and great talent the company enjoys in Dublin and highlights the important role the Dublin Tech Hub plays as part of the global business.

The new campus-style workplace will provide state-of-the-art facilities with positive environmental design principles focused on neuro-diversity, wellbeing and collaboration at its core. Highlights include a rooftop terrace, café, luxurious changing rooms, car parking and wellbeing classes. Mastercard will continue to encourage flexible working and offer above and beyond benefits whilst its people enjoy the new airy and collaborative workplace.
