Mastercard to open new BSCs in Warsaw and Gdańsk

Mastercard has announced the expansion of its operations in Poland with the launch of new professional services centers in Warsaw and Gdańsk. The newly hired, highly skilled experts will support the development of advanced technological and advisory solutions for Mastercard’s clients across Europe and globally. These hubs will further strengthen Poland’s position as a key center of innovation and digital transformation in the region.
Growth of Mastercard’s Professional Services CentersThe expansion of Mastercard’s activities in Warsaw and Gdańsk is part of the company’s global strategy to establish centers of excellence that support the digital transformation of the financial sector. Poland was selected due to its pool of highly qualified professionals, central location in Europe, and stable regulatory environment.
The new professional services center in Warsaw will employ experienced specialists in strategic consulting and advisory services. These teams will support clients across Europe in areas such as data analysis, digital product development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and business strategy. By 2028, the number of qualified staff in this hub is expected to double, reaching over 300 employees.
In Gdańsk, Mastercard’s technology center focuses on open banking and data-driven innovation, providing services to clients around the world. The company plans to employ around 100 highly skilled experts at this location by 2028. Leveraging experience from its 2021 acquisition of Danish open-banking firm Aiia, the Gdańsk-based team is developing open finance solutions. Their work in data and product management will further drive the digital transformation of the financial sector.
“Poland has long been one of Mastercard’s key markets in Europe. I am proud that our professional services centers, staffed with highly specialized experts, are being built right here. Poland needs places that play a leading role in direct client engagement and support the development of innovative solutions in the financial ecosystem. These centers strengthen our position as a significant financial hub on the global map. The decision to scale up in Warsaw and Gdańsk confirms Mastercard’s confidence in the potential of Polish talent, the stability of the country, and its strategic role in Europe,” said Marta Życińska, General Manager of Mastercard Europe in Poland.
Together, the Mastercard centers in Warsaw and Gdańsk form a powerful engine of innovation, integrating consulting, data analysis, and advanced technologies to support the growth of digital payments. As Mastercard expands beyond traditional payment services, areas such as data analytics, cybersecurity, and advisory services are becoming increasingly important sources of value and innovation.
