Scheme Expertise
Our consultants have worked inside scheme membership desks, authoring certification scripts, interpreting operating regulations at the clause level.
VisaNet participation across 26+ product areas — from issuer authentication to settlement.
MIPS connectivity through IPM clearing, MIP certification, and MDES tokenisation — end to end.
Why FinPay
FinPay's team comes from scheme membership desks and processor engineering floors. We wrote the test scripts — we didn't read about them.
VisaNet and Banknet transaction flows, clause-by-clause operating regulations, and live certification environment access.
Recommendations are driven by your technical requirements and TCO — not commission structures or partner agreements.
One engagement, one team — BIN assignment through perso bureau, certification, fraud tuning, and reconciliation.
62 scheme certifications. 340+ projects. 0 failed final certification submissions. Results, not promises.
