NEW PAYMENT RAILS
More than 75% of payments are processed on technology built in the 1970s and 1980s.
Relentless development in the types, channels and nature of electronic payments has led to a 50-year build-up of sedimentary layers of technology, each addressing a subset of the evolving landscape. This creates complexity, cost, and lost opportunity.
Cranium has built a self-organizing micro services transaction framework. Initially configured to orchestrate and process electronic consumer payments, SYNAP® can process virtually any format, volume or complexity of transaction.
SYNAP® is designed to enhance and evolve legacy payments infrastructure, building a new generation of symbiotic heterogeneous ecosystems, where multiple systems and services interoperate homogenously across a common framework.
