Payment and banking technology reimagined.
Our story.
When innovators challenge the conventional, groundbreaking things happen.
Founded in 2014 by a group of banking and payment experts, Hypur was created with the goal of empowering commerce in markets where banking and electronic payment options were limited or not even available. Together, they identified the gaps between traditional banking processes and the unique needs of emerging industries, including highly-regulated ones, and built solutions for them.
By reimagining the conventional, challenging the impossible and exploring what could be, they set out to create the unimaginable. Today, Hypur’s suite of software is the leading solution for solving the toughest payment and banking challenges. It empowers commerce for all. We call it purposeful innovation.
