Loyalty Programs

Loyalty programs that reward customers in real time

We help banks, retailers, fuel networks and coalition operators design loyalty platforms that calculate rewards accurately, personalize offers and settle every point and partner payment cleanly.

The challenge

What our clients are up against

01

Rewards customers can see instantly

Customers expect points and offers to appear the moment they pay, in the app or wallet they already use.

02

Partners, funding and liability

Coalitions and merchant-funded offers bring many parties, each needing accurate clearing, settlement and clear accounting for outstanding rewards.

03

Keeping programs relevant and safe

Programs need personalized offers and fresh campaigns to retain customers, while points remain protected from fraud and theft.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Can't find your answer? Ask a consultant.

Should our points engine run in real time or in batch?

Customers increasingly expect to see rewards as soon as they pay, which points toward real-time processing for earning and redemption. Many programs still run some calculations in batch, such as monthly bonuses or partner settlement. We help you decide which parts must be real time and design the platform and APIs to match.

What is breakage, and why does it matter for finance?

Breakage is the share of rewards that customers never redeem. It directly affects how much liability you carry on the balance sheet for outstanding points. Estimating it well, and accounting for it consistently, keeps program costs predictable. We design the reward accounting so finance and loyalty teams work from the same numbers.

How does a coalition loyalty program settle between partners?

In a coalition, customers earn with one partner and redeem with another, so value has to move between them. A clearing and settlement layer records each earn and burn event, applies the agreed funding rules and produces settlement for every partner. We help you define those rules and automate the clearing.

Can loyalty work inside a digital wallet?

Yes. Loyalty cards can be added to mobile wallets and presented with a tap through NFC, or redeemed with a QR code, often in the same moment as payment. We help you design the wallet integration and the real-time link to your rewards engine.
