Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX) is a full-stack, PCI-compliant payments platform that has processed card, ACH, and alternative payments for merchants and banks across the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean for more than forty years. Now part of North (North American Bancard), EPX combines the roles of ISO, merchant acquirer, gateway, and front-end and back-end processor under one contract. Its BRIC technology issues a unique token for every transaction so cardholder data never touches the merchant environment. Developers integrate through EPX Hosted Checkout, the Hosted Pay Page, the Browser Post API, and the North EPX Custom Pay REST API, all documented on the North Developer portal, supporting sales, authorizations, captures, refunds, voids, recurring billing, and batch settlement with EMV, tokenization, and encryption throughout.
