NAPLES, FLA—April 18, 2013— ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading international provider of payment systems, announced today the benchmark results for processing bulk payments on ACI Money Transfer System™. The solution offers financial institutions the opportunity to rationalize multiple payment processing systems, each typically with their own hardware, software and support costs, onto a single consolidated solution. This consolidation provides improved operational efficiencies and the potential for significant cost reduction. During the tests, Money Transfer System successfully processed 15 million transactions per hour through end-to-end, real world processing scenarios.

This consolidated approach allows a financial institution to differentiate its offerings consistently across payment types. ACI used environments reflective of our customers’ real- world production deployments and the results were validated by Aite Group.  The tests included the full-range of payment processing steps from de-bulking of files, rule validations, full parsing and enrichment through to distribution and risk management.

“Financial institutions need a solution which can scale to handle the growing global electronic volumes,” said Nancy Atkinson, Senior Analyst, Aite Group who validated the testing. “In order to meet these demands it is vital that providers subject their products to rigorous benchmarking with real-world processing scenarios so customers can rest assured that they will be able to meet the demands placed upon it.”
