Mastercard Foundry accelerates digital transformation to meet market demand

Mastercard Foundry is at the forefront of financial inclusion. Its mission is to find ways to provide financial services to more than 2 billion adults who lack access to mainstream banking. Mastercard partnered with Andela to expand its engineering team and scale products showing market promise.

Mastercard chose Andela because it could provide skilled developers much faster than FTEs. As priorities shifted, the Andela Adaptive Hiring model afforded Mastercard the unique ability to scale up or down just as quickly. Andela placed new engineers within 2-4 weeks, 50-70% faster than the norm. Moreover, the Andela team came with skills and technology stack competencies that complemented the team, and the security and regulatory knowledge required to work in the financial services industry.

As a result, Mastercard staffed more than 10 projects globally, sourcing more than 20 technical skills competencies with remote talent that worked seamlessly with the rest of its team.
