By Bill Grabarek, Senior Editor
Prospective clients often feel like kids in a candy store when they learn about everything that Global Processing Services can enable them
to do with their card programs. The company excels at o ering the
proverbial one-stop-shop, a processing platform built from inception, enabling program managers to provide bespoke card programs tailored to individual cardholders. But it’s the control—and the ability to adapt in-market—that makes the relatively young platform so attractive, executives say.
Since launching in 2007, GPS has been growing steadily with clients
in Europe, Asia-Paci c, Africa, Australia, the Middle East and the Common- wealth of Independent States. The company, which was named Fraud Fighter and Change Agent of the Year in the 2016 Pay Awards, has o ces in the U.K., Dubai, Gibraltar, Poland and India. Now its sights are on one of the most competitive prepaid markets: the U.S.

the industry, always keen to push the boundaries. We have yet to respond to a program manager by simply saying “no.” We are keen to understand their needs and ful ll their requirements. Once we fully understand the goal, we usually are able to provide them with even better solutions. We belong to an industry where technology is growing at a much faster pace than the regulations around the services
