The Icon Payments Framework (IPF) - the payments solution putting global banks in control
IPF is a low-code based framework that enables banks to develop their own payment processing solution by leveraging the IPF software development kit and any desired optional modules or ready-made scheme packs. This can be done by the banks themselves or with help from Icon or an SI.
It’s a fundamentally different approach to traditional vendors with Icon's SDK being in integral part of the bank’s CI/CD pipeline. This limits vendor technology lock-in but still enables banks to leverage Icon's payments strategy and architecture pedigree.

Key differentiating features
IPF allows business and technical users to collaborate to flexibly define the bank workflows where the code itself is generated automatically, along with documentation and test scenarios as well as rendering a graphical representation in real time as the flow is defined.
