ACI Worldwide Integrates Swift Blockchain Ledger into Connetic Hub

ACI Worldwide announced that its Connetic payments hub now supports Swift’s blockchain-based ledger. This integration allows banks to process tokenized deposit payments alongside conventional transactions.

The company stated that seventeen banks across six continents are currently piloting the technology. This expansion removes the need for financial institutions to build separate operational structures for digital assets.

Unified Payment Infrastructure Model

Banks can manage both tokenized and traditional payments within a single operating model. This approach utilizes existing infrastructure, workflows, and operational controls without requiring new systems.

The integration supports cross-border transfers of tokenized deposits beyond traditional banking hours. Financial institutions can extend their capabilities while maintaining established operational processes.

Automated Routing for Digital Assets

ACI Connetic automatically selects clearing and settlement routes based on defined rules. This mechanism helps banks manage payment speed, costs, and service availability across different types.

The system allows institutions to apply trusted controls to tokenized deposit transactions. This ensures that digital asset operations do not disrupt conventional payment processing.

Live Demonstrations at Sibos Event

ACI Worldwide will present the new functionality at the Sibos financial services conference. Live demonstrations are scheduled for September 30 at stand D027 for attendees.

The showcases will detail how Connetic supports payments through Swift’s blockchain ledger. This event provides a practical view of the integrated payment capabilities for industry observers.
