In 2014, SIA managed 9.2 billion clearing transactions, 3.6 billion card payments, 3 billion payments, 30.2 billion financial transactions and carried 326 terabytes of data on the network. The Group is made up of six companies: the parent SIA, the Italian companies Emmecom (innovative network applications for banks and businesses), Pi4Pay (services for Payment Institutions), and TSP (front-end services for companies and P.A.), Perago in South Africa and SIA Central Europe in Hungary. The Group, which has approximately 1,500 employees, closed 2014 with revenues of EUR 426.3 million.
