Blackhawk Network operates branded payment and gift card programmes, connecting retailers, brands and consumers through prepaid products. It was founded in 2001 as a subsidiary of the grocery company Safeway, grew into the racks of third party gift cards found near supermarket and pharmacy checkouts, was spun out and publicly listed, and was taken private in 2018 by Silver Lake and P2 Capital Partners.
The business sits between several parties. Brands want their gift cards distributed widely without building retail relationships individually. Retailers want a managed category that brings customers into the store. Blackhawk handles card production, distribution, activation, settlement and fraud controls that make that arrangement work, including the real time activation at the point of sale that keeps an unsold card worthless if stolen.
Beyond physical retail the company supplies digital gift cards delivered instantly, incentive and rewards programmes used by employers and marketers, promotional and rebate payouts, and payment products distributed by financial institutions.
It operates in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and other markets, working with tens of thousands of retail locations and a broad catalogue of brands.
Roles cover software engineering, payments operations, risk and fraud, supply chain, account management and commercial functions.
