FIS and Episode Six took the stage at Money20/20 to announce their partnership to launch the FIS International Issuing Hub
London, June 03, 2025 – Today at Money20/20, FIS and Episode Six announced a major step forward for the financial services industry: the launch of the FIS International Issuing Hub — a fully cloud-native ecosystem designed to help banks and issuers modernize their payments infrastructure and bring innovative products to market, fast.
This new solution brings together FIS’s global scale and trusted technology with Episode Six’s flexible, future-ready issuer processing capabilities. The result? An ecosystem that meets financial institutions where they are — and equips them to grow, evolve, and lead in an increasingly digital world.
“We’re excited to partner with FIS to deliver a solution that brings unmatched scalability and flexibility to the market,” said John Mitchell, CEO and Co-Founder of Episode Six. “FIS International Issuing Hub sets a new standard in payments, empowering companies to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy. FIS International Issuing Hub gives our clients the power to scale, innovate, and excel.”
The FIS International Issuing Hub is the perfect answer for banks and issuers looking to navigate complex business environments, rising competitive pressure, and growing demand for seamless digital experiences. This new platform is purpose-built to meet those challenges — giving institutions the tools to innovate and scale without being held back by existing systems.
The FIS International Issuing Hub changes that. With this platform, financial institutions can:
- Deploy modern issuer processing capabilities
- Configure products with precision across currencies, markets, and customer segments
- Scale efficiently while staying compliant across diverse regulatory environments
- Future-proof their infrastructure with modular, API-first technology
At the core of this solution is the Episode Six platform, built to meet the needs of banks (especially large global banks), financial technology companies, and brands. Our technology enables institutions to launch credit, debit, prepaid, and virtual card products with ease — all tailored to local and global requirements.
As a modern, cloud-native platform, Episode Six offers banks a path to modernizing their technology without a full systems migration, which means more agility, less disruption, and the ability to evolve alongside a rapidly shifting payments landscape.
The FIS International Issuing Hub is more than a new product — it’s a reflection of what modern banking requires: speed, flexibility, control, and scale.
And that’s what Episode Six was built to deliver. Interested in learning more?
