“Can a legacy payments software vendor successfully replatform as a modern cloud-native, API-first processing and issuing infrastructure for banks and processors in growth markets?”
Compass Plus Technologies is a long-standing international provider of electronic payments and retail banking software, with over 50 years of technology heritage and nearly 20 years focused on payments. Originally known for its TranzWare product line serving processing centres and retail banks in emerging markets, the company evolved its flagship platform into TranzAxis — an API-first, open-development payments platform supporting card issuance, token lifecycle management, BNPL, and open banking. The company extended its deployment model from on-premise and hosted solutions to full cloud-native processing via AWS, repositioning itself as a flexible SaaS/PaaS payments infrastructure vendor rather than a traditional software licensor.
