Blackhawk Network is a branded payments company whose gift cards, prepaid cards and payouts businesses use as incentives. Its business reward products include the Tango platform for sending digital gift cards, prepaid cards and payouts, and BHN Rewards (formerly Rybbon) for marketing, research and employee rewards. It mainly supplies reward value and delivery, though Tango also lists a points solution and rebate processing, and it connects to CRM, marketing and survey tools.
