ACI Worldwide, a provider of global payments technology, has formed a strategic collaboration with BitPay, a cryptocurrency payments processor, to further extend its digital assets solutions for payment services providers (PSPs) through ACI’s Payments Orchestration platform.
BitPay’s integration with ACI gives the Payments Orchestration platform a point of difference, facilitating seamless acceptance and management of digital currencies, including stablecoins as a strategic complement to traditional payment rails.
Adriana Iordan, global head of merchant at ACI Worldwide, comments: “Based on growing demand from our PSPs and merchant clients, we're ensuring they have multiple pathways to leverage these emerging rails where they add value — whether for payment acceptance or specific use cases like cross-border B2B settlements and treasury operations."
“ACI Worldwide remains committed to a rail-agnostic approach, expanding its digital assets ecosystem through additional partnerships and integrations as the market matures. This ensures our clients are prepared to leverage digital payment innovations as use cases emerge and regulatory frameworks solidify.”
Stephen Pair, co-founder and CEO at BitPay, adds: "Together with ACI Worldwide, we're making digital currencies more accessible and practical for real-world commerce.
“This partnership brings our proven crypto payment capabilities to ACI's global customer base, enabling everything from simple payment acceptance to cross-border settlement scenarios as market demand develops.”
