The MPE Awards, presented annually during the MPE conference in Berlin, Germany, are judged by a panel of independent payments industry experts. The awards, which recognize the achievements of organizations across the entire payments ecosystem, attract a large number of entries from startups through to well-established, globally operating payments companies.

”Our eCommerce solution connects more ways to pay with more payment capabilities than any other provider, utilizing open API architecture to ensure that we stay responsive to changing market needs and that our customers can quickly enter new markets,” said Benny Tadele, vice president – Merchant Solutions, ACI Worldwide. “Cross-border eCommerce remains one of the biggest growth opportunities for merchants – to be recognized once again at the MPE Awards is a testament to our solution’s ability to address the complexity of global eCommerce and enable fast, simple and secure payments around the world.”

ACI’s UP eCommerce Payments solution, available to payment providers and merchants globally, was chosen by the panel of judges based on the strength of the technology underpinning its integrated payments and fraud solution – specifically the developer-centric self-integration capabilities that give card acquirers and alternative payment providers more flexibility in how they connect to ACI’s open API. An extensive global network of payment endpoints facilitates faster cross-border expansion for payment providers (PSPs) and merchants.
