MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 2021-- ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of real-time digital payment software, today announced a partnership with KyckGlobal, a digital payments firm, to enhance digital disbursements for biller organizations across the United States, providing an array of options including international and cash payments.

KyckGlobal features a cloud-based payments engine with an array of payment types from which the recipient may select.
