The story
Founded in 2008 as a payment outsourcing specialist for Polish banks, ITCARD grew into one of Poland's largest processors of ATM and electronic payment transactions. After joining the SIBS Group, it expanded geographically into the Czech Republic and started offering embedded finance infrastructure services to fintechs via ITCARD Lab — providing White Label card issuance, Full BIN Sponsoring, and Cobrand models. This positions ITCARD as both an operator (Planet Cash ATMs, Planet Pay POS) and an infrastructure provider to third-party fintechs seeking card-issuing capabilities.
