Transaction Solutions International (India) Pvt Ltd was established in 2005 by Gary Foster and Paul Boyatzis, Australian nationals with considerable experience in the financial services industry. Since that time, the company has focused on the payments business in India, particularly in providing ATM managed services to Tier 1 banks in India and automated bill payment services for utilities.
