A PASSION FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING<br />
quipu | the company<br />
At <strong>Quipu</strong> Sh.P.K., Prisht<strong>in</strong>a – as <strong>in</strong> the other divisions of <strong>Quipu</strong> –<br />
we relish the opportunity to implement ambitious projects <strong>in</strong><br />
challeng<strong>in</strong>g environments. It is no co<strong>in</strong>cidence that <strong>Quipu</strong>’s first<br />
project to set up a card process<strong>in</strong>g system, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the personalisation<br />
of bank<strong>in</strong>g cards, was undertaken <strong>in</strong> <strong>Kosovo</strong>, only a short<br />
period after the prov<strong>in</strong>ce had emerged from ethnic conflict.<br />
And more recently, <strong>Quipu</strong> <strong>in</strong>stalled the first ATM ever to go <strong>in</strong>to<br />
service <strong>in</strong> the Democratic Republic of Congo. We fervently believe<br />
that – by provid<strong>in</strong>g technologically advanced cashless payment<br />
facilities which conform to str<strong>in</strong>gent Western European standards<br />
of efficiency and security – we can make a significant contribution<br />
to stabilisation and development.<br />
