The Tribe difference

What makes Tribe different is its modular technology for modern payments. Most payment processors offer platforms. We offer components. That distinction matters when you're building differentiated financial products.

benefit flexibility
Modular architecture
Deploy issuer processing, acquirer processing, or digital banking infrastructure independently based on your business model, without service disruption or platform migration.
benefit security
API-first design
Eliminate integration bottlenecks that delay go-to-market timelines. Built for developer teams with RESTful APIs, comprehensive documentation, sandbox environments, and webhooks for real-time events.
benefit reliability
Compliance
ISO 27001 certified, PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, and direct Principal Member certifications with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Our solutions support Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) under PSD2, regional data residency for GDPR compliance, and scheme-compliant tokenisation via MDES and VTS integration.

Real-time control
Reduce operational latency from hours to milliseconds for business-critical adjustments. Access transaction data, configure fee structures, and adjust fraud rules in real-time through your dashboard or API.

Unified solutions platform
Single integration supporting both issuer and acquirer processing. Eliminates dual-vendor complexity, reduces reconciliation overhead, and enables issuer-acquirer business models without architectural compromise.

Fast time-to-market
Average deployment cycle of 8-12 weeks from contract signature to production authorisation—versus 6-12 months with monolithic processors. Pre-certified scheme connections, standardised API contracts, and self-service configuration tools eliminate dependency on professional services for baseline implementation.
