Our Story
We build and deploy payment terminals for banks, acquirers, and merchants across Iberia, Europe, and the Middle East. Before we get to what we do today — a short note on how we got here.
NewNote has existed under different names and inside different companies, but the work has always been the same: engineering the machines that accept payments.
Origins
Founded as GAIN, an electronic-engineering practice focused on a new business line then taking shape in Portugal: purpose-built products and solutions for the financial sector.
First Terminal
Launch of Portugal's first Point-of-Sale device, the TP-90, introducing electronic payment acceptance into the SIBS Multibanco system.
Successive generations — TP-94, Futura, Elara, Prisma, PMB, TPG-01 — followed the sector's evolution through magnetic stripe and EMV chip.
Joining ParaRede
The business unit was incorporated into ParaRede, then one of Portugal's largest IT-solution providers — expanding the portfolio and entering new markets. In Angola, our TPA G6000 Europa became the first certified payment solution in the country.
Glintt
The merger of ParaRede and Consiste created Glintt, within which a dedicated Technology Enabled Services unit housed the full electronic-payments portfolio.
A New Name
Glintt-TES was sold to HCCM, and NewNote Solutions was created — decades of know-how under a new name.
Independence
Through a management buy-out, NewNote Solutions became an independent company — owned and run by the team that had been building the product.
Into Spain
Established NewNote Solutions Spain with a dedicated team and a shared Iberian framework — optimising resources and broadening the portfolio through new partnerships.
Europe & The Gulf
New markets opened across Europe and the Middle East, supported by a record sales year — and a confirmation that the Iberian model travels well.
The Next Note
The work continues. New terminal generations, new acquiring partners, and new corridors across Iberia, Africa, and the Gulf — the next chapter is already being written.
