NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A new report from independent research firm Aite Group has recognized ACI

direct electronic
bill payment provider (2009-2012). The report, titled "Biller

nine major biller direct payment providers—those vendors that enable
billers to accept epayments from consumers via the web, call center and
interactive voice response (IVR).

acquisition of Online Resources Corporation, offers ACI Bill Payment

director, Aite Group.
