Nomad to attend Prepaid Cards Summit 2007
Nomad Payments, Europe's leading prepaid and debit payments processor, is exhibiting at this year's Prepaid Cards Summit, which takes place at The Brewery London on 24-25 October 2007.
A major benefit was that Nomad's Cortex processing platform integrated easily with TMS' Core Application Platform (CAP), which manages the customers' products and pricing.
This flexibility simplified the solution and was a key factor in bringing the project to market on schedule.
"Perhaps the biggest differentiator," said Colin Loubser, Chief Operating Officer, TMS, "between Nomad and the other processing companies that we spoke with, was that Nomad is very flexible.
"We found the other processors were very prescriptive in what they would provide for us, which didn't suit our needs".
As a MasterCard-approved processor Nomad has great experience of meeting the diversity of requirements that a prepaid project entails.
During the pilot process TMS wanted to update its proposition and change some functionality and Nomad, thanks in great part to the strength of its Cortex platform and delivery team, was able to accommodate the changes within the demanding timescale.
As well as the Blue Diamond Card, TMS is also working strategically with Nomad on other prepaid projects and would be delighted to recommend the company to others.
The Nomad solution suits both ends of the spectrum, Loubser believes, be it a basic product or a more complex one with bespoke requirements needing multiple interfaces to other applications.
