History
The company was founded as Abssys Consulting in 1996 by Mr. Harold Mechelynck and Mr. Thierry Pierson.
In 2003 Ogone was Europe's first payment service provider to develop, integrate and certify a "3-D secure MPI module" (Merchant Plugin Interface), enabling remote payment.
In May 2010 the company received an undisclosed majority investment from US-based growth equity firm Summit Partners. The purchase of EBS (E-Billing Solutions) in September 2011, at the time the second largest payment provider in India after CC-Avenues, was Ogone's first acquisition and its first move outside the European market. With the addition of the EBS customer-base, Ogone became one of the world`s "largest" payment services.
On January 29, 2013; Ingenico announced an agreement for the acquisition of Ogone. A share purchase agreement for the acquisition was executed two months later.
On June 4, 2014 Ogone announced that Ogone is becoming Ingenico Payment Services, the Ingenico Group's flagship brand for digital payment services.
