MARKHAM, ON, MAY 29 – Everlink Payment Services Inc. is extremely pleased to announce the successful launch of eHUB™, our next generation digital payments platform. Everlink eHUB™ places our clients at the forefront of the digital transformation wave, accelerated by the explosive growth of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The move toward an API centric approach for digital payments is quickly re-shaping the industry’s business models and competitive landscape, requiring new product strategies that are reliant on efficiency, scale and modern technology in order to keep pace with consumer demand for digital solutions. As a result, the eHUB™ platform was strategically designed to enable Everlink to partner with our clients and assist them with their payments modernization initiatives through an API led approach, supportive of enriched data transmission and formats, designed to integrate with evolving payments technologies, and with third parties, both established and emerging.

The initiative was unveiled by Everlink in October 2019, during its annual Everlink Connections client conference in Toronto. Today’s announcement marks the delivery of an important commitment, fulfilling the promise we made last October.

eHUB™ provides Everlink clients access to eCommerce, Money Movement and Fraud Management products via Everlink’s centralized infrastructure. eHUB™ is designed to help clients mitigate significant capital expenditures and intensive in-house development by providing robust, flexible and comprehensive digital payments hub with optimum service availability and security. Due to the power of aggregation, Everlink eHUB™ offers clients an attractive business proposition, providing superior cost savings, risk mitigation, innovation and speed-to-market with volume-related economies of scale and operational efficiencies.

Everlink understands speed and innovation is absolutely critical to clients in order to remain competitive and diversified in today’s digital era. For this reason, eHUB™ has adopted a flexible microservices architecture and API led connectivity, combined with agile development and operational best practices, that will help reduce total development and delivery time of new products by at least 50%. This allows Everlink’s clients to provide optimal business value to their customers or members, with the ability to release products and subsequent enhancements with more efficiency and scalability than ever before!

“eHUB™ is just the latest example of how Everlink strives to be a valuable business partner to our clients and partners, helping them get where they need to be, faster, cheaper and better,” says Mark Ripplinger, President and CEO. “I’m proud of our team at Everlink and the hard work and dedication they have demonstrated. From initial design discussions through to roll out and implementation, this accomplishment was truly a team effort, achieved with energy, urgency and innovation, and most importantly, delivering real value to our clients.”

In the coming months, Everlink will be launching a series of products and services accessible through the eHUB™ platform, which includes eCommerce solutions, real-time money movement products, fraud management services and other digital-first solutions.
