This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of technology vendors participating in the North America retail digital banking solution, primarily providing online and mobile self-service solutions.

"The vendors in this IDC research have not only created their own digital offerings but have embraced the fintech ecosystem to help create experiences to attract and retain today's digital customers; however, each institution is wise to conduct its own due diligence when expanding or entering any new digital platform to ensure it aligns with the strategic focus of the institution."

ACI Worldwide Payments Unleashed 2025: Advancing Orchestration, Cross-Border Intelligence, and Scalable Trust in Global Payments

Sam Abadir, Aaron Press, Jerry Silva — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

ACI Worldwide’s Payments Unleashed conference underscored that reducing payment costs and expanding cross-border reach now depend on intelligent orchestration across compliance, risk, and fraud functions. Institutions are consolidating fragmented systems, controls, and monitoring into unified payment hubs that streamline operations and eliminate duplication. The introduction of ACI Connetic, ACI’s next-generation payments hub, reflects this convergence by bringing payments, orchestration, and intelligence together within a single architecture designed for scale, interoperability, and resilience.

By embedding fraud detection, AML, sanctions screening, and compliance logic directly into orchestration workflows, institutions can lower operating costs while ensuring consistency across payment types and jurisdictions. Cloud-native design and shared data frameworks enable the reuse of compliance and risk models across multiple payment rails, reducing adaptation costs and enhancing audit readiness. AI-driven analytics strengthen early anomaly detection, improve explainability, and reduce false positives, directly lowering fraud losses and manual review time. Expansion into new corridors and use cases increasingly depends on demonstrating regulatory maturity, operational transparency, and cross-border fraud resilience. Compliance and payments intelligence are now viewed not only as safeguards but as enablers of scalable, cost-efficient growth..
