Leading and Succeeding Together as Partners

Paragon Application Systems has continually supported - and sometimes led - the payment industry through a period of unprecedented growth and change, including Y2K, EMV contact and contactless, the explosion of mobile and e-commerce, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now celebrating our 30th year, Paragon has continued to grow and expand across the globe by building and nurturing long-term relationships, delivering the highest levels of customer service, and creating long-term value for our clients.
