Mastercard today launch its new Data & Services (D&S) Hub in Kuala Lumpur, to serve clients across the Asia Pacific region with a suite of offerings beyond transactions. The hub will also be a place to nurture a talent pipeline across a range of capabilities focusing on data science, product development, and payments consulting.
Mastercard’s D&S experts globally work with nearly 4,000 clients in over 120 countries, drawing on the organisation’s extensive expertise, data, and technology to offer solutions that cover everything from hyper-personalized loyalty programs, to product prototyping, to end-to-end marketing solutions that span the customer journey. They are knowledge centers dedicated to this arm of the business and are located around the world; the new hub in Kuala Lumpur will build on the success of other hubs in Asia and globally.
The hub in Kuala Lumpur will support the organisation in the provision of solutions to partners in the areas of cybersecurity, credit risk, and data analytics to help local clients and those across the region scale and enable their businesses’ potential.
The new hub will become part of a growing global team that includes thousands of data scientists, engineers, and consultants, and will support businesses and governments in Malaysia and APAC to make more data-driven decisions and optimize performance and profitability.
The launch of the D&S Hub comes following the announcement in March of a partnership between Mastercard and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) to build a Cyber Innovation Hub.
