We are best known as the creator of the Concourse Financial Software Suite® – a unique integrated collection of back office products that allow companies to adapt to the rapidly changing world of payments quickly and easily.

Concourse is a cohesive and integrated package, including settlement, reconciliation, fee processing, and dispute workflow management, that reduces the cost and complexity of back office processing. Concourse’s continuous processing, near real-time architecture, and powerful rules engine are ideally suited for any type of payment transaction including card-based payments and account-to-account real-time payments.

To meet our client’s specific needs, we have expertise in a wide range of programming languages, database products, hardware platforms, and operating systems. BHMI’s talented team is centrally located at BHMI’s state-of-the-art Software Development Center in the United States. All development, testing, implementation, and support services are provided directly by BHMI team members.

From the very beginning, our core competency has been to create software solutions that are continuously available, highly scalable, and undeniably reliable. Since 1986, we have seen a lot of change in technology, but our focus has remained the same. We develop software solutions that provide real value for our clients and professional satisfaction for our team.
