Alacriti, a leader in payments solutions for financial institutions, announced its partnership with Access Softek today, a leading omnichannel digital banking solutions provider.
The partnership will allow Access Softek to deliver cutting-edge payment solutions, including instant payments capabilities to financial institutions via the RTP® network and FedNow® Service fully integrated with its digital banking platform. This partnership seeks to modernize payment operations for financial institutions, addressing the growing demand for real-time money movement and unified payment systems.
As financial institutions face increasing pressure to adopt real-time capabilities, this collaboration enables them to process transactions in seconds, improve liquidity management, and enhance the overall customer experience. Together, Alacriti and Access Softek are poised to accelerate the adoption of modern payment solutions, helping financial institutions stay competitive and future-ready.
Integrating Alacriti's Orbipay Payments Hub with the Access Digital Banking Platform enables financial institutions to benefit from frictionless real-time payment solutions integrated with their existing payment ecosystem.
Key benefits of the joint solution:
Enhanced User Experience: With real-time payment capabilities, institutions can meet consumer expectations for fast, reliable, and convenient services, giving users greater flexibility in how they manage their money.
Cost-Efficiency: Financial institutions can provide members with lower-cost money movement options compared to traditional wire transfers, enhancing overall member satisfaction while saving on transaction fees.
Enhanced Security and Reliability: The instant payment system operates on a good funds model, ensuring that accounts are validated for existence, standing, and sufficient funds in real time before transfers are made. This results in an exceptionally low rate of returns, with returns being optional, allowing financial institutions to add this transfer rail without imposing significant strain on back-office operations while enhancing transaction security.
Scalability and Incremental Modernization: This platform empowers financial institutions to stay ahead of evolving market demands, offering flexible solutions that can grow with their evolving needs.
Attracting New Customers: The integration of instant payment options enhances the appeal of financial institutions, enabling them to offer innovative and modern banking solutions that attract tech-savvy customers and small businesses seeking efficient and seamless payment experiences.
