ROSH PINA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Track Innovations Ltd.

Competitors in the category included Google, Blue Snap, Prosper and Earthport.
“We’re honored to be recognized for the tremendous product development and new major customer wins we achieved over the last year,” said Ofer Tziperman, oti’s CEO. “This reflects how we’ve strengthened our board of directors and executive team, divested non-core businesses, and refocused on our core NFC-based payment technology.
"As a result, we have been able to reinvigorate our growth while reducing costs, as well as expand key relationships with industry leaders like with MasterCard and Visa, who have certified the oti payment products hence accelerated the adoption of oti’s technology in the NFC payment industry. We have been a comeback story of which every employee can be proud.”
The winners of 2014 PYMNTS Innovator Award were selected among 500 companies, which were announced yesterday during the closing ceremony of The Innovation Project 2014. The two-day event, which was hosted by PYMNTS.com, highlighted the rapidly changing payments and commerce ecosystem, including the reinvention of retail, digital cash, security, global commerce and the consumer experience. Judges included executives from venture capitalist firms of Bain Capital Ventures, Continental Advisors, Commercial Ventures, Global Economics Group, NACHA, Menlo Ventures, General Atlantic, Market Platform Dynamics and Flybridge Capital Partners.
