ACI Worldwide launches ACI Connetic, a platform for global payments

ACI Worldwide, a payments system company, has introduced ACI Connetic, a cloud-based centralised payments hub that integrates multiple global payment systems into a single platform. The new offering is designed to support a range of payment types (i.e., account-to-account, card-based, and real-time) while addressing the operational and compliance challenges faced by financial institutions.

The platform includes integrations with domestic and international networks such as Swift, Target2, SEPA Instant RT1, and TIPS. It also features AI-powered fraud detection and is built to scale with institutional needs. Additional payment rails and clearing mechanisms are expected to be integrated over time.

According to ACI, the platform allows banks to consolidate previously siloed systems and reduce infrastructure complexity. The company has confirmed that its platform is already being deployed by financial institutions across the US and Europe.

Thomas Warsop, CEO and President of ACI Worldwide said, “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. Against the backdrop of increasing payments complexity, the rise of new technologies and a shifting regulatory environment, ACI Connetic empowers financial institutions to unlock new revenue opportunities and navigate compliance in order to drive growth and financial inclusion.

ACI Connetic has been developed in coordination with major clearing and settlement systems, including the Bank of England, ECB, EBA Clearing, Pay.UK, the US Federal Reserve, and The Clearing House. 

Scotty Perkins, head of product for banking and intermediaries at ACI Worldwide, said, “We built ACI Connetic to give banks a future-proof foundation to meet the ever-increasing demand for faster, smarter, and secure payments. Built for scalability, intelligence, and resilience, ACI Connetic empowers banks to reduce complexity, accelerate product innovation, and deliver new solutions to their customers in an unprecedented way and at unprecedented speed.”

The product launch follows the announcement that Southeast Asian CIMB Bank will adopt ACI’s technology to consolidate real-time, ACH, RTGS, and cross-border payments onto a single platform.

ACI Worldwide currently supports over 6,000 customers globally and processes more than 225 billion consumer transactions annually.
