Challenge

Thredd, formerly known as GPS (Global Payment Systems), is a leading next-generation global payments platform that empowers top fintechs, digital banks, and embedded finance providers worldwide. Notably, disruptive neo-banks such as Starling Bank, Revolut, and Curve rely on Thredd to power their products, offering unique features such as real-time payment notifications and in-app card alerts. However, GPS could be likened to a cake without icing, lacking a clear central vision or a distinctive brand. This left it with a muddled narrative, an indistinctive name and identity, an ambiguous internal culture, an ineffective brand for attracting top tech talent, and internal teams with disparate visions and communication styles. With a new management team, strategic vision, and operating plan, GPS stands poised to benefit from a rebrand that signals a marked departure from the past— a clear and confident catalyst for change in its next phase of growth.
