Aktif Tech
NOMINEE OVERVIEW
ATLAS Developer Portal transforms Aktif Tech’s extensive technology and operational expertise in card and payment systems into a developer-focused integration experience. It enables financial institutions, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, and technology teams to discover services within the ATLAS ecosystem, access technical documentation, and manage their integration processes more efficiently and rapidly.
ATLAS brings together critical components of the card payments ecosystem including issuer and acquirer processing, card management, switch & authorization, ATM management, fraud & chargeback, clearing & settlement, and digital payment capabilities within an end-to-end platform approach. Today, the ATLAS infrastructure supports more than 20 million cards, 100,000 POS terminals, and 16 financial institutions, while enabling high-volume payment operations with a processing capacity of up to 4,500 TPS and an average transaction processing time of approximately 250 ms.
ATLAS Developer Portal makes this powerful and scalable technology infrastructure accessible through a developer-friendly experience. The portal enables developers to discover relevant services, explore API details and technical requirements, and access the information they need throughout the integration process from a centralized environment.
In this way, ATLAS transforms its proven card and payment technology capabilities, already operating at scale in real-world payment environments, into a scalable digital ecosystem that developers can easily discover, evaluate, and integrate into their projects.
NOMINATION RATIONALE
1) BEST API PRODUCT MICROPORTAL INSIDE A DEVELOPER PORTAL
Why is this category a strong match?
ATLAS Developer Portal is a strong fit for this category because it transforms a comprehensive card and payment technology platform, operating at significant scale in real-world environments, into focused, understandable, and product-oriented experiences for developers.
Card payment systems consist of numerous interconnected components with distinct technical and operational requirements, including card lifecycle management, authorization, transaction management, merchant and terminal operations, ATM management, fraud prevention, chargeback, and clearing & settlement. Making the extensive capabilities of ATLAS which currently serves more than 20 million cards, 100,000 POS terminals, and 16 financial institutions easy for developers to understand and navigate is a fundamental principle behind the portal experience.
Rather than presenting this complex structure simply as an extensive collection of technical documentation or a list of APIs, ATLAS Developer Portal organizes relevant services into meaningful product-oriented experiences based on specific business needs and capabilities. Each product area enables developers to focus on the relevant solution according to its purpose, capabilities, technical scope, and integration requirements.
This approach allows developers to focus on the products and services relevant to their specific integration scenarios without getting lost within the broader technological scope of ATLAS. They can understand the capabilities of the relevant product area and access the technical information they need within the same product journey.
ATLAS therefore combines the scale of a comprehensive, high-volume payment technology platform with the focused developer experience of product microportals. It enables each product area to communicate its own business value and technical scope while maintaining a consistent overall user experience and technology approach across ATLAS.
In what ways does your portal shine in this category?
One of the key strengths of ATLAS Developer Portal in this category is its ability to transform the inherently complex technical architecture of card and payment systems into clear, focused product experiences that guide developers from business need to integration.
The different capabilities within ATLAS are not entirely independent services. From creating and managing a card product to authorizing transactions, from transactions performed through POS terminals or ATMs to clearing and settlement, and from fraud controls to chargeback processes, multiple components operate as interconnected parts of the same payment ecosystem. The portal preserves this holistic relationship while enabling developers to focus specifically on the product areas and services relevant to their needs.
Through its product-oriented structure, users can understand the purpose and functionality of a service, explore its technical details, and access the information required for integration within a centralized experience. Developers are therefore provided with more than an endpoint or technical reference: they can also understand the role of an API within the broader payment flow, the need it addresses, and the context in which it can be used.
This approach reduces cognitive load in an environment such as payment systems, where technical and operational dependencies are particularly complex. It makes relevant services easier to discover and enables developers to begin integration with a clearer understanding of the overall context. At the same time, presenting different ATLAS products through a consistent design and navigation approach helps maintain a coherent developer experience when moving between product areas.
Making a high-volume payment infrastructure capable of processing up to 4,500 TPS with an average transaction processing time of approximately 250 ms accessible through the developer portal also demonstrates that the portal experience is backed by proven, scalable technology operating in real-world payment environments.
