Marqeta Strengthens Presence in Europe with New Office Launch in Poland

Marqeta, the global modern card issuing platform, today announced the opening of a new office in Warsaw, Poland, aimed at accelerating the expansion of its card program management capabilities into Europe and reinforcing its foothold in the region.

Strategically situated in the heart of Europe, Poland grants Marqeta convenient access to pivotal Eastern and Western European markets. With a presence in Europe dating back to 2019, Marqeta aims to leverage the new office in Poland to capitalize on the country's abundant talent pool and extend its comprehensive card program management services across the European market. Currently, Marqeta's Warsaw office has local employees on board.

Simon Khalaf, Chief Executive Officer at Marqeta, commented: "Poland's position as a leader in Central Europe, coupled with its strong education system and rich developer community, make it an ideal place for Marqeta to establish roots. Establishing ourselves in Warsaw further solidifies our commitment to enabling our customers' global growth, and emphasizes our ability to provide the robust solutions, security and assurance required for their global success."

In a strategic shift, Marqeta opted to close its Australian office​ in the previous year as part of its cost reduction efforts, in contrast to its proactive stance towards expansion in Europe.
