MasterCard does a complete background check on all candidates, including a credit check. Do you have strong credit and a clean criminal record?
As an employee of MasterCard, you will be privy to a lot of sensitive information, so you must be trustworthy. Therefore, a clean criminal record is a must. Also, most companies in the financial and credit card service industry require strong credit scores from their employees. Answer this question truthfully and with full disclosure.
"I'm more than willing to comply with any background check required. I have a clean criminal record and believe my credit score is above average. It was around 790 when I last checked. I've been working hard to build my credit score over the past few years."
"My criminal record is clean. However, I do not have a lot of credit history. What I do have is positive, but I am currently working to build my history further. When taking a responsible approach, it takes a bit more time starting from scratch."
