Naples, Fla., March 28, 2017 - ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of real-time electronic payment and banking solutions, today announced that Braspag, part of the Cielo Group and a leader in eCommerce payment solutions in Latin America, has integrated ACI's award-winning UP eCommerce Payments solution, featuring its ReD Shield and ReDi anti-fraud capabilities.

Braspag processes millions of payment transactions from 23 international credit card brands.

Braspag provides services such as payment processing, reconciliation, anti-fraud, tokenization, checkout and hosted payments. The company is committed to providing optimal shopping experiences to its customers -- and due to rampant fraud in the region, Braspag required a powerful and proven anti-fraud offering, and selected ACI's market-leading solution.

"Collaborating with ACI provides our customers the best anti-fraud solution for their bsinesses, regardless of size. We continue to expand our services portfolio beyond serving as a payment gateway -- with market-leading real-time fraud monitoring capabilities," said Gastão Mattos, CEO, Braspag. "Braspag's solution, coupled with ACI's technology and expertise, empowers our customers to provide automated anti-fraud solutions in a competitive eCommerce marketplace."

"Given the myriad payment types and channels available to consumers, fraud has continued to increase substantially. The usual approach to mitigating eCommerce fraud in Latin America frequently causes false positives or extended verification deadlines -- and buyers today want their order approved immediately," said Marco Bravo, vice president for Latin America, ACI Worldwide. "With ACI ReD Shield and ACI ReDi, Braspag's anti-fraud efforts are effective and seamless and enhance the buyer's experience."
