The story

HPS was founded in 1995 as a payment technology company focused on delivering its PowerCARD platform to banks and financial institutions globally. The company has consistently expanded its footprint by partnering with neobank enablers (Neofy) and regional payment specialists (Serquo), positioning PowerCARD as a multi-channel, cloud-capable payment processing and card management platform. The Utimaco HSM integration reflects HPS's push to meet enterprise-grade security requirements as it targets tier-1 banks and processors.
