COVID-19 Considerations

• We value the safety of each member of our community because we know we’re all in this together.
• In many locations, which may change over time, we’ve implemented a virtual hiring process and continue to interview candidates by video or phone.
• In addition, in some locations, only individuals who have been fully vaccinated will be permitted inside Mastercard offices until further notice.
• In the US, Mastercard is a government contractor, which may legally require most Mastercard employees to be vaccinated unless a verified approved medical or religious exemption is granted. 
• Further, we are currently making every effort towards having employees return to work in the office 2 days per week, if that makes sense for their team. 
• Everyone must be vaccinated to enter Mastercard offices at this time.  Therefore, we expect all candidates to be vaccinated or to be approved for a medical or religious accommodation prior to commencing work at Mastercard.
