As part of BPC Group’s continuing global expansion, BPC Europe has been established to address the market for switching and card management systems in West and Central Europe.

Based in the UK, BPC Europe is maintaining direct and partner networks to engage in various markets. In Central and Southern Europe the opportunity is characterized by wide ranging merger and acquisition activity with high demand for innovative solutions. In West Europe the market is more mature and traditional but there is a developing need for multi-channel products currently constrained by legacy platforms.

To ensure a fast start in this varied market BPC Europe is exploiting BPC’s established relationships with the platform vendors, IBM, HP and Oracle, and the global payment organisations, Visa and MasterCard. Rapid access to the opportunity is being facilitated by wide-ranging telemarketing programs aimed at enhancing market awareness of BPC and its flagship SmartVista Suite of software products for transaction processing and card management.

BPC Europe is committed to deliver better customer acquisition, higher customer retention, innovative product solutions, lower total cost of ownership and improved return on investment to this new market by leveraging the knowledge and expertise it has developed in BPC’s traditional markets.
