Citi

A PAYMENTS SOLUTION COMPANY

Accelerating payments transformation

Icon Solutions was founded on the belief that banks should be able to lead their own transformation. We developed a product designed to give banks the tools to independently accelerate the transformation of their payments infrastructure.

The Icon Payments Framework (IPF)

IPF is an internationally proven payments development framework trusted by banks across the globe, that gives banks the power to keep ownership over everything it builds, with full control over timelines and costs. By harnessing our technology, banks can transform their systems in an accelerated, structured and low-risk way, all on their own terms.

IPF is the framework that underpins payments orchestration solutions and sits at the heart of the core payments architecture of banks such as Citi, UBS, NatWest, and BNP Paribas.

In-house build or external project? Why not both?

Transforming payment systems is critical, but too often it's slow, expensive and consultant-heavy. At Icon, we believe banks should lead their own transformation, not be led by it.

IPF combines the best of both: the power of a product, the freedom of an in-house build.
