ACI wins Central Banking Award for Payments
Services; lauded as “an important provider of real-time digital
payments software”
ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of
real-time digital payment software and solutions, today announced
that it has been recognized by Central Banking Magazine with its
2021 Central Banking Award for Payments Services. The award
highlights ACI as an important provider of real-time digital
payments software, helping banks and small companies connect to
core central bank infrastructure.
The Central Banking Awards emphasize outstanding performance and
achievements of individuals and organizations within the central
banking community. Supporting central banks around the world in the
transition toward real-time payments, ACI provides a growing range
of real-time payments services for round-the-clock settlement
systems and reliable overlay services that are vital in making sure
banks, merchants, individuals and fintechs can be connected
seamlessly.
“When central banks and governments around the world implement
and launch a new payments system, it becomes a major payments
modernization effort for the entire nation,” said Sam Jawad,
executive vice president, Banking, ACI Worldwide. “Whether the
rationale is financial inclusion or part of an economic policy to
support businesses through improved cash flow, it is important to
make sure that participants within the ecosystem — banks,
processors, merchants and consumers — benefit. This recognition is
testament to our great team of experts and their work in leading
central bank and central infrastructure initiatives.”
According to Central Banking Magazine, “The workload of central
bankers hit a new peak during the past year as officials scrambled
to respond to external and internal policy and operational issues
presented by the pandemic. And, ACI has emerged as a leading
partner for central banks as they spearhead the transition toward
near-instantaneous transfer of funds around the world.”
ACI currently supports 18 real-time domestic schemes around the
world, including Zelle and TCH in the US. Approximately 50 percent
of the UK’s Faster Payments (UKFP) 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), and STET’s real-time payments
platform for PSPs in Europe. Additionally, ACI has customers using
its solution to access Singapore FAST and the Australian New
Payments Platform (NPP).
