This Manager role is in the Visa Direct Global Risk, Compliance and Policy team, which also has global responsibility for Visa Direct Cross-border Enablement. This team is part of the Global Visa Direct Ecosystem Readiness team.
Visa Direct is a high priority digital product, offering significant potential for new revenue growth and displacement of cash and bank transfer. Originators (senders) and Recipients (beneficiaries) derive value from real-time payment use cases such as:
· Person-to-person payments and wallet payouts (eg. Facebook, Google, PayPal)
· Cross-border remittances (Western Union, Moneygram, Transferwise)
· Payouts to suppliers to marketplace apps (eg. Uber, AirBnb, Amazon)
· Conventional disbursements (insurance, compensation claims, tax refunds)
Building a world-class security value proposition is critical to the success of Visa Direct, driving engagement and uptake by both originating and receiving clients, particularly for cross-border payments. We reinforce Visa Direct security through a range of measures, including an approval requirement for all new programs launched on Visa Direct, extensive data requirements and risk controls on push payments, and deployment of Visa’s extensive range of fraud risk tools for pull payments.
In this role, you will take primary responsibility for managing and developing our Program Approval program, which is critical to ensuring that only originators and programs working to robust risk and compliance standards can operate on the Visa Direct eco-system.
You will also have an opportunity to take program management responsibility for a range of initiatives designed to enhance the Visa Direct Risk and Compliance proposition and improve Cross-border enablement across both push-to-card and push-to-account. In particular, with the acquisition of Earthport, we are undertaking a significant body of work designed to integrate the push-to-card and push-to-account propositions, across risk control, program approval, operations etc.

· Consult with risk, AML, and policy experts in the Visa Direct team on approval processes

· Communicate and train global stakeholders in the program approval process
