This collaboration builds on strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM to extend ACI Connetic beyond its traditional role as a payments hub. The goal is to provide optimised and functional payment engines that support financial institutions in meeting increasingly stringent non-functional requirements and increasing resilience against potential disruptions.
With the industry moving towards real-time, API-driven, globally distributed architectures, banks face greater pressure to future-proof their payments infrastructure. At the same time, traditional architectures are burdened with new demands while digital-native players optimize performance, availability, and development. Regulators around the world have urged banks and financial institutions to strengthen their defenses and improve operational resilience.
ACI Connetic aims to streamline this process by optimizing how banks future-proof their payments infrastructure. The platform supports the resilience, scalability, and security of payment systems while facilitating the transition to cloud-based infrastructures to enhance overall operational efficiency.
According to official press releases, ACI’s unified cloud-based payments platform is designed to boost operational resiliency and support the increasing non-functional requirements of modern payment systems. The product combines card and account-to-account processing on a single, unified platform, delivering an improved combination of proven payments capabilities, integrated fraud prevention, and secure cloud architecture. It continues to meet the demands of modern banking while providing financial institutions with the flexibility, scalability, and resilience needed in a complex payments landscape.
