Authorisations Specialist Role in Consumer Issuing

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.
