#57 Issuing a card program with Duncan Currie from Marqeta.
Welcome to The Fintech Founder Journey, where we explore great FinTech products, businesses, and leaders.
I’m your host Mike Scott and I’m also the Co-Founder and CEO of Nona Digital, an expert firm that accelerates product development for FinTech & Blockchain scaleups.
In today’s show, I’m joined by Duncan Currie, country manager for the Australian (AUS) and New Zealand (NZ) regions for Marqeta and we’ll be talking about his journey in the card-issuing space both on the Marqeta side and on the customer side.

Today my guest is Duncan Currie who has been working in Financial service and Fintech for a very long time.
Duncan has had a very deep career in this space, working at senior levels for companies like Visa, ANZ Bank, the NAB, and Crypto.com to name a few.
A massive depth of knowledge in the card space has led Duncan to his current role as Country Manager of Marqeta for the AUS and NZ regions.
For those you listening that might not know Marqeta, they are a massively successful Fintech company that focuses on the modern card issuing platforms and infrastructure to help companies build and manage payment programs.
Duncan has also got some entrepreneurial DNA in him as he has founded and run a good few businesses too, some unrelated to Fintech.
Duncan is seriously experienced in financial services and Fintech and more importantly, a really nice guy.
