A bit about us:
Consult Hyperion is a globally recognized, independent consultancy, providing thought leadership and expertise in the areas of payments, mobility and identity. We help clients solve problems, understand opportunities and future proof their ideas. Everything we deliver operates at scale – millions of transactions, all over the world.
Contactless payments? We were there from the start. In fact, we helped the payment brands develop their specifications and testing programs, and it was our team who helped deliver the OMNY system in New York City.
Mobile banking? We’ve got a team of ethical hackers who ensure that day in, day out, our client’s apps are secure and stay ahead of the curve.
