HPS, a multinational company and leading provider of electronic payment solutions for financial institutions, card processors, merchant acquirers, independent sales organizations (ISOs), and national and regional switches around the world, has increased its presence within Africa with a new office in Johannesburg, South Africa.

For more than 20 years, HPS, through its innovative PowerCARD platform, has been helping financial institutions across Africa to adapt and future-proof their payments systems to the rapidly evolving and digitised payments landscape. Johannesburg has been identified as the ideal base to enable HPS to continue this tradition and provide local support to clients operating within South Africa and southern Africa to adapt to this new landscape.

Martin Evans, Commercial Director at HPS, commenting on today’s announcement, said:

“Southern Africa has one of the most dynamic, exciting and evolving payments ecosystems in the world, and we are delighted to reaffirm our commitment to clients operating in this ecosystem with the new office in Johannesburg. The office provides us with a perfect base to develop even closer working relationships with our clients, gain a greater understanding of the local challenges they face, that will enable us take their payments operations in South Africa and beyond to the next level.”
