Authorisations Specialist Role in Consumer Issuing

An exciting role that focuses on creating efficiencies around payment authorisations.

The Authorisations process is critical for the functioning of credit and debit cards.

Efficient authorisations enable the customer experience for card users using their cards to transact at a physical point of sale or online (e-commerce) sites.

It provides the Issuer with an opportunity to approve or reject card transactions either due to insufficient funds to manage credit risk or fraud.

The Authorisations function requires in-depth understanding of the Card systems environment from an Issuing and Acquiring point of view to enable management of exceptions and to identify root causes of authorization failures in order to resolve customer queries and complaints and industry incidents.

This role will be focused on managing existing authorisations processes, incidents and resolving queries and complaints.

It is complementary to the existing role of the Authorisations specialist which is currently focused on Authorisations improvements to ensure compliance to industry and schemes mandates and improve risk management, operational efficiency and the customer experience.
