For millions of consumers, the ATM remains one of the most frequent physical touchpoints they have with their bank - and every interaction shapes their perception of the brand.

QKS Group has named Compass Plus Technologies as a 2025 technology leader in the SPARK Matrix™: Card Management System (CMS), 2025.

As digital banking becomes the primary customer interface, the ATM's value lies in doing fewer things - but doing them exceptionally well.

For merchant acquirers across Africa, fraud prevention has long focused on minimising chargebacks, reducing scheme exposure, and protecting merchants from losses. But there is another threat hiding inside many fraud strategies: false positives.

Compass Plus Technologies has been named in The Payments Power 50 for 2026, marking its second consecutive appearance in the annual guide celebrating the companies and individuals influencing the global payments industry.

For years, the ATM has been a key customer touchpoint for traditional banks. Today, neobanks are taking a different approach.

For banks and fintechs alike, the mandate is clear: protect customers, reduce financial crime, and meet growing regulatory expectations. But across the industry, that balance has quietly tipped too far toward prevention at any cost.

Since 2006, Network International and Compass Plus Technologies have been working together to innovate and elevate digital commerce across Africa.
