NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of real-time electronic payment and banking solutions, today announced its participation at Sibos, SWIFT's annual international financial services conference, held September 26-29 in Geneva.

The payments industry is preparing for massive change, with Europe's SEPA Inst and The Clearing House (U.S.) launching in 2017—validating the need to move from batch-based to real-time systems. PSD2 will be effective by 2018, so banks and technology providers are adapting their systems to compete effectively in the transition to open, digital and real-time banking.

Immediate payments, Open APIs and blockchain technology continue to drive change, and with Universal Payments, ACI is delivering cost-effective and flexible solutions for financial institutions, payment service providers and financial intermediaries to effectively address the challenges of a rapidly evolving payments ecosystem.
