ANZ New Zealand Bank, Avant, ING, PayNet and
Universal Studios Receive Top Honors
ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of
real-time electronic payment and banking solutions,
today announced the winners of the 2019 ACI Innovation Awards. The
awards recognize leading banks, financial intermediaries, merchants
and corporates around the world for their innovative use of ACI’s
UP portfolio of leading payment solutions. The awards celebrate
global payments innovation; winners were selected by a panel of
judges composed of ACI experts and industry analysts from Aite
Group, Celent and Ovum.
This year’s winners include:
ANZ New Zealand—New Zealand’s largest financial services
group. Representing nearly one in two New Zealanders, ANZ New
Zealand has a long track record of demonstrating innovation for its
customers. Most recently, the banking leader embarked on an
innovative way to ensure security and customer confidence in new
digital payment channels, specifically, New Zealand’s modernization
initiative of ACH payments known as ‘Cleared Funds’—by dynamically
assessing risk in real-time before a transaction is completed using
a variety of Payments Intelligence data sources.
Avant—a leading online lending platform for consumers.
Avant, which serves more than 600,000 customers, implemented an
API-driven solution that has helped it evolve into more than just a
consumer lending company. Its ability to create, support and
develop technology in-house makes the organization a force in the
industry in supporting both the consumer lending market and its
growing base of customers.
ING—a Dutch multinational banking and financial services
corporation. ING embarked on a journey to become a globally
scalable bank with one digital platform. As part of this journey,
the banking leader worked with ACI on implementing a new agile
approach to automation specific to its Clearing & Settlement
solution. This approach has enabled ING to provide better focus on
business innovation for its customers while being able to decrease
time and financial resources on solution maintenance and
support.
PayNet—the national payments network and central
infrastructure provider for Malaysia. PayNet implemented Malaysia’s
Real-Time Retail Payments Platform (RPP) using ACI’s
UP Real-Time Payments solution. RPP and DuitNow,
Malaysia’s instant credit transfer via proxy ID, are the
foundation for payments transformation in Malaysia, which is aimed
at modernizing the e-Payments ecosystem and driving innovation for
the country’s more than 31 million residents.
Universal Studios—Universal Orlando Resort implemented a
new and innovative wearable that allows guests at Universal’s
Volcano Bay water theme park to wait in “virtual lines,” so they
can have fun or relax while waiting to experience attractions, make
cashless payments – and more. The “Tapu Tapu” wearable debuted
at Volcano Bay last summer.
“Our customers represent the best in payments. We are proud to
partner with these great organizations and help them to not only
better serve their customers, but to more effectively compete in
this continued rapid period of industry innovation,” said Mike
Braatz, chief marketing and solutions officer, ACI Worldwide. “This
