  The Next Generation of Women in Tech

  Friday, April 28, 2017 Andrea Snyder to Payments and Industry Trends

  ACI recently hosted its second Coding for Girls camp in Omaha, with 30 middle school girls taking part. A group of ACI volunteers and executives hosted the free event (complete with a pizza lunch) at the Peter Kiewit Institute at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The camp gave the girls a hands-on introduction to HTML, CSS and Java, helping to spark interest in tech and coding at a young age. We sat down with Sampy Gajre, senior recruiter, ACI Worldwide, who leads the Coding for Girls program, to talk about the importance of learning about tech at a young age, ACI’s plans to expand the initiative to other cities—and how she is helping to recruit the next generation of female tech leaders.

  The Constant of Change and the Future of Commercial Banking

  Thursday, April 20, 2017 Mark A. Ranta to Payments and Industry Trends, Transaction Banking, Retail Payments

  Let’s clarify this before I lose anyone; the self-proclaimed “pioneer of wisdom,” noted Greek philosopher Heraclitus, is credited with the saying Panta rhei, "everything flows." More commonly, you have probably heard this as “the only constant is change,” but either way, this teaching has withstood the test of time, as it is not only applicable, but feels like a worldly truth when I find myself talking about today’s transaction banking landscape. A robust time of change is upon us; one that has brought us to the precipice of a new era in banking. Understanding the driving forces behind this change as well as embracing new business models will be a key to success, or even to survival.

  Are You Falling Behind in the Race to Real-Time? How to Build Your Business Case for Immediate Payments

  Thursday, April 13, 2017 Mikael Sedera to Payments and Industry Trends, Immediate Payments

  We’re beginning to see a divide in the payments industry, not just between incumbents and new players, but a sub-divide between banks themselves. Some traditional financial institutions have been able to adopt agile processes, whilst others are yet to start their journey toward a more nimble future. So why are some of these banks continuing in their old mode, like giant ships, slow to change direction? Could it be that the iceberg that sinks the move to real-time is only about technology ‘above the surface,’ and organisational issues lurk below the water line?
