MDP provides card services, processing and digital payment suites to clients across the financial, government and retail industries. The company has operations in 35 countries and three continents.

At the end of 2019, Giesecke + Devrient (G+D) Mobile Security, a German mobile security technology firm, selected Zwipe to develop a biometric payment device.

Zwipe also collaborated with French security and identity solutions provider IDEMIA last year to bring new biometric payments card platform to the market.
