Overview:Blackhawk's vision is to create meaningful connections between global consumers and brands, through innovative payment technologies. The world leader in stored value payments and distribution for gifting and reward is extending that leadership to other payment solutions and channels including digital currencies, promotions, embedded rewards, loyalty, and consumer payment options.
Innovation in payments means evolving our solutions in alignment with how people connect with brands and one another, seeking to understand and contextualize payments where and how those connections occur. To achieve that vision, Blackhawk is transitioning its physical distribution capabilities to a digitally accessible platform, enabling brands to win new customers, increase engagement and spend, and leverage diverse payment methods to increase loyalty and incentivize behavior. One of the biggest opportunities for our network participants is the more than 1 billion consumer interactions that occur every week across a broad range of touchpoints, affording us the opportunity to drive incremental spend and deliver better experiences for consumers and businesses.
Powering these touchpoints through our experience applications are a range of core services which enable the capabilities across our 400K channel touchpoints in a globally scalable composable approach.
