ECS said that the launch of operations in US is the first of its three planned international operations during this year.

According to the ECS, leveraging through its parent company Opus, the company is well positioned to meet the requirements of the market through its ‘electra’ suite of payment products.

The American offices location of ECS will encompass end-to-end operations, and focus specifically all client facing activities such as sales, client implementation, post sales and services and support.

Dale Van Stratten, whose previous experience includes leadership positions at ACI Worldwide and First Data, will lead the Americas operations.

Opus Software Solutions and ElectraCard Services CEO Ramesh Mengawade said with the expertise to deliver customized products and services along with the experience of the Opus team, I am confident that we will soon build a strong foothold in the US and Americas market.

ECS is a PCI DSS certified Third Party Processor (TPP) for MasterCard and VISA across the issuing and acquiring spectrum of the electronic payments business.
