What Tempus Technologies does

Tempus Technologies, Inc. is a US-based payment gateway provider founded in 1987 and headquartered in Auburn, USA, with 101-250 employees. The company delivers secure payment-processing solutions through its PCI P2PE validated payment gateway, which provides end-to-end encryption and tokenization for card, ACH, eWallet, and paper-check transactions. The platform spans Smart POS terminals (delivered via a preferred-device relationship with Ingenico), eCommerce checkout, mobile/tablet acceptance, the Invite2Pay text/email payment-request feature, and the PaymentMate check-scanning application. Tempus targets four primary verticals: retail, healthcare and pharmacy (with a marketed Epic EHR integration), education, and insurance and financial services.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: per-transaction payment-processing fees, hardware sales of POS terminals, and professional services covering custom implementation and training. Go-to-market is dual-track: a sales-led enterprise and mid-market motion staffed by dedicated account managers providing hands-on solutioning, paired with a self-serve/PLG channel via downloadable PaymentMate and remote-support resources. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Operating geography is United States only.

Notable signals indicate Tempus likely operates as part of, or in close alliance with, PNC Bank: the careers link on Tempus's own website redirects to careers.pnc.com filtered by the keyword 'tempus', a strong affiliation signal even though the input data does not explicitly confirm corporate ownership. Tempus holds PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider certification and PCI P2PE validation, which together form the compliance backbone of its value proposition for regulated industries. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes are documented in the available source material.
