ACI Worldwide has expanded its technology partnerships to support the growth and resilience of ACI Connetic, its unified cloud-native payments platform.

The move is aimed at helping financial institutions bolster operational resilience and meet evolving regulatory standards.

ACI Worldwide has added MongoDB and NATS, an open-source messaging system developed by Synadia Communications, to its global partner ecosystem.

These additions build on existing collaborations with Microsoft, Red Hat and IBM.

Together, they support the reference architecture of ACI Connetic, which brings card and account-to-account processing onto a single platform.

Designed to meet the demands of modern banking, ACI Connetic integrates payments processing with fraud prevention features and modern cloud architecture.

It offers financial institutions greater scalability, flexibility and support as they move toward real-time, API-driven systems.

Banks are facing increasing pressure to upgrade their infrastructure as new regulatory frameworks take effect.

These include the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act, the UK’s operational resilience rules, and Australia’s CPS 230 standard, all of which impose stricter requirements for managing technology-related risks.

“Maintaining operational resilience in a fast-moving commercial environment is a critical challenge for financial institutions. ACI Connetic has been designed not only to help banks to future-proof their payments infrastructure but also to support the increasing non-functional requirements of modern payments.

Our cutting-edge technology supports the resilience, scalability and security of banks’ payments systems, while streamlining the transition to cloud-based infrastructures to improve operational efficiency.”

said Scotty Perkins, Head of Product for Banking and Intermediaries at ACI Worldwide.
