PEOPLE
WE ARE THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF PAYMENTS
We're a payments solutions company providing financial institutions with payments technology (IPF), payments subject matter expertise and multi-disciplined services.
INTEGRATION SERVICES PEDIGREE
From inception, Icon consultants have designed and implemented state-of-the-art integration architectures and data platforms, foundational for robust payments processing.
ICON PAYMENTS FRAMEWORK
IPF is Icon’s major contribution to the payments industry. It is the framework that underpins payments orchestration solutions and sits at the heart of the core payments architecture of leading banks.
ICON CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE
The Blueprint for Payments and other accelerators are curated by our CoE, based on extensive experience to develop a payments strategy, target architecture, speed up implementation and reduce costs and risk.
IPF
IPF is an accelerator framework for banks opting for an in-house build. IPF can also be delivered as a packaged solution that meets a bank's current and future requirements.
Banks leveraging the IPF software development kit lower the cost of their payments transformation and reduce risk.
Services
Icon is home to world-leading domain experts with a wealth of experience and captured knowledge in banking, payments, technology, architecture and data.
At Icon, we partner with customers across financial services to provide a pragmatic, navigable path to transform safely and quickly, turning existing technology estates into solutions fit for the next generation and enabling the exploitation of data through analytics and AI.
Natwest: Winning the digital battle against the 'dragon of change'
In an interview with Interface Magazine, Ian Povey, Head of Payments Services & Technology, discusses the strategic transformation taking place at NatWest and how that journey of change is benefitting both the bank and its customers. When NatWest needed to upgrade its payments processing infrastructure, it turned to Icon.
“The low code aspect of the framework (Icon’s IPF) empowers and enables organisations to control its delivery and feature richness while the simple extensibility of the capability allows software engineers to focus on high value integrations and innovation.”

The Icon Ethos
Our involvement with charities isn't to tick a CSR box, it's at the heart of who we are. Put simply, Icon's ethos is to go above and beyond and we are committed to giving back. When asked in an interview about how Icon justifies charitable donations, our founder could not have put it better. “How do you not?”
Some of the charities and initiatives we continue to support include: WeSeeHope; CarbonNeutral®; Peatland and Forest Conservation and Polka Theatre.
