This agreement is a significant step that will allow CPM members to have more flexibility and increased access to better payment methods while expanding payment acceptance within Mastercard affiliated merchants."

We found in Evertec the strategic partner we needed, as well as in PayStudio the flexibility to meet our business needs and support our continued growth and presence, not only in Mexico, but also throughout the region".
This agreement leverages Evertec's PayStudio multi-issuer platform which offers CPM the ability to configure its credit products all within one system while also integrating into Evertec's proprietary card monitoring and fraud prevention system, RiskCenter 360, guaranteeing both security and transparency. Likewise, CPM will take advantage of value-added services such as Back-office processing, Call Center management and Chargeback operations that are incorporated into the product suite.
