Berkeley Payment Selected Episode Six as its Modern Cards Infrastructure to Power Expansion; Migration Completed in Less Than Five Months

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Episode Six, a leading global technology provider of enterprise-grade card issuing and ledger infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with Berkeley Payment, one of the largest providers of white-label cards and payments solutions in Canada.
