ACI Worldwide, a global leader in real-time payment software, has partnered with BitPay, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency payment processors, to bring cryptocurrency acceptance to payment service providers (PSPs) through ACI’s Payments Orchestration platform. This collaboration makes it easier for PSPs and merchants to offer digital asset payments, including stablecoins, alongside traditional methods like cards and bank transfers.
With the growing adoption of digital currencies, this move positions ACI to meet the increasing demand for flexible, future-ready payment options across global markets.
Seamless Crypto Integration for PSPs and Merchants
The ACI-BitPay partnership allows PSPs to integrate crypto payments directly into their existing payment systems without complex development or operational changes. Through ACI’s orchestration platform, businesses can now accept popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and regulated stablecoins, offering consumers more choice at checkout.
This solution supports several high-value use cases, including:
-
Cross-border B2B settlements
-
Real-time treasury operations
-
Multi-currency commerce
By supporting both fiat and crypto rails, ACI Worldwide maintains its rail-agnostic strategy—allowing PSPs and merchants to use the most efficient and cost-effective payment options available, regardless of currency or platform.
Expanding the Reach of Digital Currencies in Everyday Commerce
According to Stephen Pair, CEO of BitPay, the partnership brings digital currencies one step closer to mainstream adoption. By leveraging BitPay’s crypto payment infrastructure and ACI’s global scale, businesses can streamline everything from simple crypto checkouts to complex international transactions.
“This collaboration helps make crypto a practical option for everyday business and commerce,” said Pair.
As the regulatory landscape for digital assets matures, ACI continues to invest in building a trusted ecosystem of strategic partnerships. The goal: give PSPs and merchants the tools they need to innovate securely and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving payments industry.
