The pressure on payment infrastructure is only increasing.

Real-time payments, cross-border transfers, regulatory demands, and rising customer expectations are pushing legacy systems to their limits.

Most institutions aren’t struggling with payments themselves, they’re struggling with how payments are managed, routed, and scaled across fragmented systems.

This is where a modern Payment Hub changes everything.

With Lusis Payments’ TANGO platform, banks and financial institutions can unify ACH, wires, real-time payments, and cross-border transfers into a single, intelligent hub. Instead of managing multiple systems, you gain one centralized platform that simplifies operations and accelerates innovation.

A Payment Hub strategy allows you to modernize once and support every payment type moving forward.

If you're evaluating how to simplify payments, modernize transfers, or future-proof your infrastructure, let's talk.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PARIS, France — May 13, 2026 — Lusis Payments today announced the successful completion of a major ATM modernization and migration initiative for a leading financial institution, delivering measurable operational improvements and establishing a stronger foundation for future growth and innovation.

The transformation program involved more than 150 integrations across the institution’s ecosystem from the legacy BASE24 platform to the TANGO payments platform. The initiative represented a strategic modernization effort designed to improve agility, scalability, resiliency, and long-term operational efficiency.
​
The transformation initiative delivered significant business results, including:

• Accelerating project and team delivery by 3x across vendor and partner environments
• Lowering operational costs while creating long-term efficiencies
• Establishing a stronger foundation for scale and future growth
• Expanding the institution’s client base by more than 200%
• Increasing investment in strategic growth and operational roles by 42% to strengthen scalability and long-term execution capacity
• Deploying the TANGO Token Server to tokenize sensitive payment data, helping streamline PCI compliance and reduce PCI scope exposure.

​“The goal of this transformation extended far beyond migration,” said Philippe Preval, CEO of Lusis Payments. “This initiative helped create a scalable and modern operational foundation that enables the institution to innovate faster, support future growth, and better adapt to evolving payment demands.”

As part of its next phase of strategic investment, the institution plans to expand capabilities around Cloud, Payment Hub services, Transfers, and Fraud management.

Lusis Payments’ TANGO platform continues to support financial institutions with scalable, highly resilient payment infrastructure designed for modern transaction processing, integration, and real-time payment environments.

The Real Problem Isn’t Security—It’s Exposure

Most organizations don’t have a data protection problem.

They have a data exposure problem.

Sensitive payment data, IBANs, and customer information are still being stored across too many systems. Every additional touchpoint increases risk, expands compliance scope, and raises the cost of securing your environment.

At the same time, regulatory pressure continues to grow. PCI DSS, GDPR, and regional mandates are forcing organizations to rethink how sensitive data is handled across increasingly complex infrastructures.

The result?
Security strategies that were once “good enough” are now becoming a liability.

Why Traditional Approaches Are Falling Short
Encryption has long been the standard for protecting sensitive data. But in modern, distributed environments, it only solves part of the problem.

Encryption protects data in transit.
It does not eliminate the risk of storing sensitive data across multiple systems.
This creates ongoing challenges:

• Expanding PCI scope and audit complexity
• Increased exposure to ransomware and breaches
• Higher operational costs tied to compliance
• Slower innovation due to security constraints

Organizations need a way to reduce risk at the source—not just protect it.

The Shift Toward Enterprise Tokenization
This is where enterprise tokenization is changing the game.

Tokenization replaces sensitive data with randomly generated tokens that have no exploitable value outside of a secure system. Instead of storing real data across your infrastructure, your systems store tokens.

This simple shift delivers a powerful outcome:
Sensitive data is removed from most of your environment entirely.

With tokenization, organizations can:

• Reduce the number of systems in PCI scope
• Limit the impact of potential data breaches
• Securely use data across applications and partners
• Simplify compliance and operational overhead

It’s not just a security upgrade, it’s a structural improvement to how data is managed.

Bringing Tokenization Into Modern Environments
While the concept of tokenization is not new, many legacy implementations were difficult to scale, integrate, or manage across cloud and hybrid environments.

Modern organizations need a solution that fits seamlessly into existing architectures without requiring major redesigns.

That’s where TANGO TKS SaaS from Lusis Payments comes in.
Built as a cloud-native platform, TKS SaaS is designed to integrate across payment systems, SaaS platforms, and enterprise applications while maintaining performance and flexibility.
Key advantages include:

• Cloud-native architecture with Kubernetes
• Secure multi-tenant design with strict data separation
• Strong access control using OAuth2, OIDC, and JWT
• Built-in DDoS protection and rate limiting
• Full token lifecycle management

Most importantly, it enables organizations to implement enterprise-grade data protection without disrupting existing systems or slowing performance.

The Business Impact of Getting This Right
Organizations that adopt tokenization are not just improving security—they are gaining a competitive advantage.
They are able to:

• Accelerate product and service innovation
• Reduce compliance-related costs and complexity
• Strengthen customer trust and brand reputation
• Improve resilience against evolving cyber threats

In a landscape where both speed and security matter, this balance is critical.

Why This Matters Now
The cost of doing nothing is increasing.
Data breaches are more frequent. Regulatory scrutiny is higher. And customer expectations around data protection continue to rise.

Forward-looking organizations are moving beyond patchwork security strategies and adopting solutions that fundamentally reduce risk.
​
Tokenization is becoming a foundational part of that strategy.

Take the Next Step

If your organization is still storing sensitive data across multiple systems, now is the time to rethink your approach.

As we wrap up 2025, we’ve been reflecting on the moments, milestones, and partnerships that shaped this year for Lusis Payments. It’s been a year of meaningful progress, exciting opportunities, and continued innovation—and none of it would have been possible without you. Your trust, your feedback, and your collaboration truly make all the difference, and we’re grateful for every conversation and every project we’ve shared.
​
One of the highlights of our year was partnering with a major financial institution whose teams were searching for two very different solutions: a Transactional Switch for one department and a Payments Hub for another. TANGO’s flexibility, the ability to do both flawlessly within a single, modern architecture, proved to be a key factor in their decision. Their deployment will also take advantage of tokenization, stand-in processing, store-and-forward, Dynatrace integration, Azure cloud capabilities, and support for affiliates across their network. The selection came after an extremely detailed Proof of Concept, where TANGO not only met expectations but consistently exceeded them. It was a proud moment for our team and a great validation of the work we put into the platform every day.

We were also excited to welcome another major French financial institution into the Lusis client community, further strengthening our already deep roots in Europe. In Asia, HSBC’s continued expansion of TANGO remained an important part of our year, showcasing the platform’s ability to operate reliably at scale in some of the most demanding environments. We also made solid progress on a new fraud initiative with another global institution, and our Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) solution gained momentum as more banks explored new ways to deliver value to their customers.

Latin America continued to be an area of strong growth and engagement for us. Interest in our Payments Hub has been rising steadily, and our work with ATEFI, along with our participation in a key cybersecurity event in Peru, allowed us to deepen relationships and better understand the evolving needs of the region.

Behind the scenes, our teams continued to make significant enhancements to TANGO itself. Strengthening cloud-native capabilities, improving observability, expanding issuing and acquiring features, and delivering new automation tools. These updates are all designed with one goal in mind: helping you move faster, operate more efficiently, and stay ahead in a rapidly changing payments landscape.

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited for what’s coming. We see tremendous opportunity in the market and even more potential for TANGO to support the modernization journeys of institutions around the world. Most importantly, we look forward to continuing this journey with you.

From everyone at Lusis Payments, thank you for being such an important part of our year. We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a successful, fulfilling year ahead.

Happy Holidays!
The Entire Lusis Payments Team
