Our mission

Tango believes that rewards, incentives, and payments are more than transactions. They’re opportunities to fuel stronger relationships with people, and better performance for business. Whether you’re focused on customer loyalty or employee engagement, wellness, or research participation, we can help you seamlessly send smiles and drive results.

How it started

"When I started Tango back in 2009, I believed we could fundamentally improve the industry for businesses that used rewards, incentives, and payments—and for the recipients on the receiving end. Companies were sending physical gifts that couldn't be integrated into core workflows, and the economics, sourcing, and shipping seemed overly complex. Additionally, there wasn't a focus on the experience of the recipient. We set out to change this, focusing on rewards and incentives that could be integrated with modern applications, simplifying pricing and economics, and making the experience awesome for the recipient. We believed that, by doing this, we would help businesses increase impact and deliver the business results they were focused on. We’ve come a long way on this journey, and see so many more ways to help the companies we work with."

— David Leeds, Founder, Tango

How it’s going

To further enhance the power of its global rewards platform, Blackhawk Network (BHN) acquired Tango in May of 2024. This acquisition marks a strategic move, bringing together the best of the best in the incentives space.

Blackhawk and Tango have been close partners for several years—BHN was an early investor in Tango. In addition, this acquisition creates significant value for customers by combining the scale, global reach, and breadth of content that BHN has built, with Tango’s digital-first platform and leading gift card API. Together, our organizations will continue to focus on providing stellar service and delivering the world’s best incentive solutions to keep businesses moving forward.
