Tribe Payments
Tribe Payments is a London, United Kingdom-based payments technology company and issuer/acquirer processor that gives banks, acquirers, and fintechs a modular, API-driven platform to launch card and payment products without building core processing in-house. Built around its ISAAC processing engine, Tribe spans card issuing (issuer processing), merchant acquiring and a payment gateway, POS/SoftPOS terminal management, tokenization, fraud and risk monitoring, 3D Secure, digital wallets, Open Banking (PSD2 account-to-account payment initiation and account information), and Bank Connect / Banking-as-a-Service. Tribe positions itself as developer-led, publishing an extensive public API reference at doc.tribepayments.com; sandbox access is granted on request rather than through fully open self-service signup. Its home market is the United Kingdom, where PSD2/Open Banking and the Faster Payments and Bacs rails operated by Pay.UK anchor a dense cluster of API-native payment providers.
Tribe Payments publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Payment Gateway - Credit Card API, Payment Gateway - Hosted Payments API (HPP), Payment Gateway - Credit Card Token API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Payments, United Kingdom, Issuer Processor, Card Issuing, and Acquiring.
The Tribe Payments catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Tribe Payments’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, changelog, engineering blog, support, getting-started guide, and 23 more developer resources.
