Global credit card company Mastercard recently completed an important milestone in Turkey; it teamed up with mobile retail upstart Getir to provide the Masterpass digital payment service technology and facilitate Mastercard’s payment experience for Getir’s artificial intelligence system for Facebook Messenger. Supporting the legalities pertaining to this innovative deal was vice president legal of Mastercard in Turkey, Esma Gül Nalbantoğlu Kocaman, who in addition to the Getir deal has overseen the entire legal remit for the Turkish area of the global Mastercard business. Kocaman joined Mastercard in 2014 after two spells at Turkish law firms including Yarsuvat & Yarsuvat and Kolcuoglu Demirkan Attorneys at Law.
