Overview:
At Mastercard we are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Ethics and Compliance are at the core of our company values and are essential to both the personal success of every Mastercard employee and to the success of the company. The SVP, Global Open Banking & API Risk and Compliance will be responsible for leading, strengthening, extending and sustaining a successful risk and compliance program working across various stakeholders.
Open Banking is strategically evolving across several key areas as it maximizes growth across various uses cases and creates new value with (and for) Mastercard assets. The business is growing across initiatives, products, partnerships, market entries, etc. and with that comes an emerging risk and compliance landscape. In Europe we are subject to regulatory obligations as an AISP and PISP in the EU (Aiia), and to further scale the business model, it will also need to become licensed as an AISP/PISP in the UK. These licenses bring significant compliance obligations inclusive of AML regulations, requiring the licensed entities to have comprehensive AML Programs and on-soil money laundering reporting officers. Additionally, in some markets, like the US, the Open Banking business has compliance obligations in relation to credit reporting and the regulatory environment continues to evolve (i.e. CFPB open banking rule making (1033), etc.) Therefore, this role is crucial to ensuring that the business is compliant with all relevant regulations, to mitigate the risks associated with financial crime and export controls violations, and to build and scale an efficient global/local compliance model in support of the business.
The SVP provides global ownership and strategy, management, and single point of senior management liaison. They will work closely with executive stakeholders across the business spanning product, sales, and heads of the Open Banking business engaging as a true business partner helping us balance what is needed for compliance but also understanding business risk and influencing product and business decisions. The SVP will also lead a hybrid compliance structure with a mix of centralized services and management along with localized compliance officers and SMEs. As part of this, they will be responsible for developing and implementing policies, procedures, and controls that are tailored to the company's business and comply with global standards and local regulations. In addition to providing guidance and training to the business on AML, Sanctions, and Export Controls compliance matters. By having a dedicated SVP, Global Open Banking & API Risk and Compliance, the company demonstrates its commitment to compliance and builds trust with regulators, customers, and other stakeholders, ultimately safeguarding the long-term success of the business.
