Why it’s important?
The launch of ACI Connetic is a significant development in the evolution of payment processing. As financial institutions face increasing demands for faster, smarter, and more secure payments, the platform provides a future-proof foundation for banks to meet these needs. With regulatory requirements tightening and the rise of new payment technologies, ACI Connetic empowers banks to unlock new revenue opportunities and navigate compliance challenges more efficiently.
Moreover, ACI Connetic is designed to help banks and payment service providers accelerate product innovation and deliver new solutions to their customers at an unprecedented speed. This capability is essential in an increasingly competitive market, where the ability to innovate quickly can be a major differentiator.
The platform’s collaborative approach, which includes partnerships with major clearing and settlement bodies such as the Bank of England, European Central Bank, Federal Reserve, and Swift, strengthens its credibility and makes it a robust solution for banks looking to transform their payment systems.
As Thomas Warsop, President and CEO of ACI Worldwide, stated, “ACI Connetic is not just a new product, it is a new standard for how banks must operate in the digital economy and approach payments transformation.”
