Emerging Markets Payments Holding (EMPH), the largest third party processing centre in Africa and leading processor in the MEA region, needed a change in software in order to keep up with its businesses growing demand. EMPH chose Compass Plus to implement and streamline this transition, obtaining a full set of Compass Plus’ processing products.

Moscow Industrial Bank
Moscow Industrial Bank (MInB) chose Compass Plus to help implement a new product called campus cards. Campus cards are contactless enabled smart cards that are issued as a tool for students, teachers and other University personnel to access information services and other resources available on campus as well as carry out traditional banking operations. In June 2013, more than 9,000 campus cards were actively in use.
