ACI Worldwide unveiled ACI Connetic for Cards, a cloud-native payments hub. It combines account-to-account payments and AI fraud prevention tools, according to a press release.

The hub authenticates dta, routes transactions and handles authorization and clearing. It also provides fraud management through digital identity services, along with ATM capabilities. The company built the hub to provide the architecture for banks to handle card payments.

"When we introduced ACI Connetic, we set a new benchmark for how banks operate in the digital economy," Thomas Warsop, CEO and president, ACI Worldwide, said in the release. "With ACI Connetic for Cards, we're bringing that standard to the heart of retail payments — modernizing the issuing, acquiring and ATM capabilities banks depend on. It gives institutions a future-ready foundation that improves flexibility and agility by opening a low-risk path to new services, new payment types and continuous innovation."
