Innovation is at the heart of Monext's strategy and core businesses. The European Payments landscape is constantly evolving. Our job is to plan for, devise and offer today's - and tomorrow's - payment methods. Therefore, together with our clients and partners, we examine all the elements that will shape the payments industry of the future. As a member of the E-Secure Transactions Cluster), Monext is involved in research and development into mobile payments, contactless payments, multi-purpose applications and multi-terminal acquiring solutions.

We attach great importance to enabling our clients to take our innovations and really make them their own, this being the best way for them to derive the maximum benefit from these innovations. It is innovation that enables Monext to stand out from its competitors in its ability to offer its clients ingenious solutions that address their needs and resolve their problems. Over the last few months we have launched various innovative packages that have now been taken up by our clients: European cross-border corporate card issuing with BNP Paribas, instant issuance of contactless EMV cards with Carrefour Banque.

Whether it's our products for the retail sector, such as Payline and Payavenue or our packages tailored to financial institutions, innovation is a way of life at Monext. We design innovative solutions that aim to make it easier for end customers to make payments whilst ensuring that all money movements are fully secured. We have gained recognition within the industry for our innovative approach and as a result, have won several awards over the last three years (Oscar for Innovative Payment solutions in 2009, 2010 and 2011).
