ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of
real-time digital payment software and solutions, today announced
that the U.S. Faster Payments Council (FPC), a membership
organization devoted to advancing faster payments in the United
States, has selected ACI’s Craig Ramsey, head of Real-Time
Payments, to be part of its FPC Board Advisory Group. The FPC Board
Advisory Group advises the FPC Board of Directors and FPC staff to
make the most of growing trends in the faster payments market.
ACI is actively involved in driving real-time payments around
the world, collaborating with organizations such as The Clearing
House (TCH), Payments Canada, Pay.UK, Euro Banking Association and
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Earlier this year,
the company announced that it has been selected by the Federal
Reserve Banks to participate in the pilot program for its upcoming
FedNow Service, a new real-time payments service. The program will
support development, testing and adoption of the new service.
“The FPC Board Advisory Group is focused on facilitating a
world-class payments system where Americans can safely and securely
pay anyone, anywhere, at any time and with immediate funds
availability,” said Reed Luhtanen, executive director, FPC. “Craig
has an extensive real-time payments background, and we look forward
to his involvement as we work to drive faster payments.”
Ramsey has more than 30 years' experience supporting banks in
their corporate payments and banking needs, working on some of the
largest industry initiatives, including major SWIFT upgrades, the
introduction of SEPA and PSD2, CLS, ISO 20022, and the global roll
outs of real-time payments. “I am excited to join the talented
group of payments leaders on the FPC’s Board Advisory Group,” said
Ramsey. “This is an exciting time for real-time payments globally,
and as the U.S. advances in this area, I look forward to helping
the FPC increase adoption.”
ACI currently supports 18 real-time domestic schemes around the
world, including Zelle and TCH in the U.S. Approximately 50 percent
of the UK’s Faster Payments and 75 percent of Hungary’s AFR
transactions are processed through the ACI Low Value Real-Time
Payments solution. The ACI Low Value Real-Time Payments solution is
also the core processing infrastructure for Malaysia’s Real-Time
Retail Payments Platform (RPP). Additionally, ACI has customers
using its solution to access Singapore FAST and the Australian NPP
(New Payments Platform).
