The bank switched things up from ACI Worldwide’s Base24, and a card management system from Canadian vendor Bevertec. The platform will support the development of two major API families: ‘Servicing’ and ‘Transacting’, meaning any payment system will be able to push payment authorisations and transactions through PowerCARD to be processed, or connected to, the PowerCARD Back Office, thus allowing new services to be provided to the end-user.Īccording to Arnaud Bazerque Bacha, ICPS Senior Manager - Product & Innovation / Infrastructure & System, “HPS’ PowerCARD API Platform has been critical in allowing us to accelerate innovation within our organisation, evolve our product offering and keep ahead of the mobile banking revolution within Africa.
