ACI Worldwide Teams with Suncorp Bank to Fight Payments Fraud
NAPLES, FLA –SEPTEMBER 18,2012—ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading international provider of payments systems, announced today that Suncorp Bank, a division of Suncorp Group of Australia, has implemented ACI Proactive Risk Manager™ 8.0, the company’s comprehensive fraud management solution. A Proactive Risk Manager customer since 2002, Suncorp migrated to the next generation of the solution in order to take advantage of its real-time fraud detection functionality and its ability to integrate, present and enable disposition of fraud alerts from multiple transaction channels in a single system.

It combines predictive analytics with expertly defined rules to enable an accurate, flexible and real-time response to the increasingly complex and dangerous risks presented by fraud and money laundering.
“Protecting the assets our customers entrust to us is one of our most important duties,” said Martin Latimer, Executive Manager Group Financial Crimes, Suncorp. “We know that those who wish to defraud and steal from us are always seeking new and creative methods, and we are determined to do everything we can to prevent that. By implementing Proactive Risk Manager 8.0, we believe we are better prepared to meet this challenge.”
