How it works

Paving a path to payments as a platform strategy

Form3 is changing the way modern payment systems are built and consumed. Banks need a scalable platform to deliver the breadth and depth of capabilities to meet their evolving needs.

Configurable functionality

Through our single platform and one time integration financial institutions can access a wealth of complementary payment solutions. From end to end scheme functionality to fraud prevention and payment orchestration.
