Profile

Company Overview

Founded in 1999, with offices in Australia, UK, Singapore and US, Distra is a software company that is passionate about transforming payments and helping our customers innovate to respond quickly to new market needs. Distra and its global partners empower leading banks, payments processors and other companies in the payments chain to quickly address cost, competitive, customer and regulatory drivers by enhancing their existing payments infrastructure.

With new market players, sophisticated mobile and social technologies and increasingly complex customer demands driving the need for rapid innovation, traditional payments systems can’t easily respond. Distra’s flagship solution, the Distra Universal Payments Platform, helps bridge this growing ‘divide’ between the old and new payments worlds by augmenting traditional platforms to make them more flexible and agile.

As well as processing traditional payments, Distra enables the processing of mobile, web and social media payments in real-time, and the capture of both financial and non-financial data to enable customized sales offers and an enriched customer experience. Similarly, Distra can provide a secure, compliant connection to traditional payment networks for new market players.

Distra and its partners can significantly reduce the risk and cost of payments transformation by enabling a phased migration path from traditional legacy platforms to a modern, unified payments architecture without the need for a ‘rip and replace’ approach and without compromising on security and reliability.

The Distra Universal Payments Platform facilitates real-time wholesale and retail payments with zero downtime and high levels of performance, scalability and security in both cloud and traditional environments.
