By Gloria Methri

ACI Worldwide, a specialist in mission-critical, real-time payments software has added Swift Go to its cross-border payments offering. In response to the growing demand for new cross-border, real-time payment services, ACI will enable banks to utilise Swift Go via the ACI Enterprise Payments Platform.

Swift Go facilitates low-value international payments, enabling consumers and SME customers to send simple, fast, and transparent cross-border payments straight from their bank accounts. It combines the power of Swift gpi with domestic real-time payments infrastructure where possible.

ACI, a global, accredited partner of Swift gpi for more than 30 years, is offering new capabilities to enable banks to take full advantage of real-time, cross-border payment opportunities.

“We are excited about the extension of our long-standing and successful partnership with Swift,” said Craig Ramsey, Head of Real-Time Payments, ACI Worldwide. “Seamless and instant cross-border payments, whether high or low value, are increasingly becoming the norm for our customers. Leveraging Swift Go will enable banks to improve the customer experience and stay competitive in the growing cross-border payments market.”

“Swift Go gives consumers and small businesses the peace of mind they have been looking for when sending money internationally, through transparency in fees and predictability in speed, said Tanja Haase, Head of Swift Go at Swift. “We are pleased to be able to continue working with ACI Worldwide to extend these benefits to more banks and their customers.”

ACI technology solutions, including ACI Enterprise Payment Platform, have been supporting various gpi services since its inception, including gpi Customer Credit Transfers, ACI gpi Data Service, and Universal Confirmations.
