About Us

The Intelligence Behind Smarter Business Decisions

Mastercard Services is the professional services and solutions arm of Mastercard — the world's largest payments-focused consulting and technology organization. We combine real-time transaction data drawn from 125B+ purchase transactions across 80M+ merchant locations with a team of 3,000+ consultants spanning 53 countries. Our clients — from retail banks and fintechs to global retailers, restaurants, airlines, and governments — rely on us to make smarter decisions, drive growth, and transform their businesses. We serve more than 3,900 clients in 120+ countries, backed by 600+ patented solutions.

Who we are

Designers, Economists, Data Scientists — All Under One Roof

We are an unusually diverse team of designers, data scientists, economists, loyalty experts, marketers, and technologists — unified by a singular mission: to help our clients act on insight, not instinct. With 80 nationalities represented and expertise spanning payments, cyber risk, AI, consumer engagement, economic analysis, and emerging technology, we bring the full depth of Mastercard's global intelligence to every client engagement.

What we do

From Strategy to Scale — End-to-End Advisory and Solutions

We deliver across two integrated dimensions: advisory consulting and technology-enabled capabilities. Our Mastercard Advisors practice spans AI & advanced analytics, consumer engagement & loyalty, cyber & enterprise risk, data & infrastructure, economic consulting, future technology, payments strategy, and sustainability. Alongside these, our Capabilities portfolio includes named platforms — from Test & Learn® and SpendingPulse™ to SessionM and Dynamic Yield — that clients can license, deploy, and scale. Together, we take clients from strategic insight through implementation to measurable business outcomes.

Our Purpose

Connecting Every Business to the Opportunity in Their Data

We believe that data — used responsibly and intelligently — has the power to transform businesses and benefit communities. Our purpose is to make the insights within Mastercard's unparalleled transaction data accessible and actionable for every client, across every industry, in every market we serve. That means complying with the strictest global data protection standards while earning trust as a long-term strategic partner.

Our Values

How We Show Up for Our Clients

We lead with data and expertise, not opinion. We work as an end-to-end partner — prioritizing client goals, profitability, and success over short-term engagements. We commit to responsible data use, earning certifications for our privacy practices and complying with the strictest standards of global data protection. And we invest in inclusion and financial access — reaching underserved communities through our sustainability and financial inclusion practice.

Why working with us

The Mastercard Advantage — Data, Scale, and Proven Expertise

No other consulting organization combines 159B+ aggregated transactions, 2.9B global cards, and 3,000+ payments-specialist consultants in one place. Our clients gain access to insights that simply don't exist anywhere else — drawn from the world's largest payments network and validated through real-world results. From Banco Azteca's data-driven growth to Citi's ultra-affluent product launch and Virgin Money's £15M incremental spend, our track record across 120+ countries speaks for itself.

Sustainability

Building a More Inclusive Financial World

Our Sustainability & Financial Inclusion practice is a dedicated advisory capability committed to reaching underserved communities and ensuring everyone can access the benefits of financial products and services. We also partner with clients on sustainability initiatives — including MediaMarktSaturn's 1.3x ROI sustainability program — applying our data and consulting expertise to drive both economic and social value. Our data practices comply with the strictest global privacy standards, and we have earned certifications for our responsible data handling.
