Governance

Since its creation, the HPS Group has attracted a range of talents and expertise, which enriches its approach and contributes to its progress. In 2022, HPS adopted an organisation built around its 3 Payment, Switching & Testing activities with the assistance of support entities (HPS Corporate Services) and cross-functional entities (Business Innovation).
