Norwegian technology firm EVRY has tapped ACI Worldwide to meet the needs of merchants and banks across the Nordics and European market more effectively.

EVRY will leverage ACI’s UP Retail Payments and UP Payments Risk Management solutions.

Using the UP Retail Payments solution, EVRY will enhance its card and mobile payments functions.

Moreover, the UP Framework, which powers UP Retail Payments, is said to accelerate delivery of innovative products at EVRY.

At the same time, EVRY will utilise ACI Interchange to facilitate incoming and outgoing clearing and settlement processes for card payments.

These include payments by mobile, EMV and magnetic stripe cards, for international payment schemes.

EVRY SVP – Card Services Christer Jonsson said: “With ACI, we will continue to provide banks and merchants access to fast and simple payment options as well as the ability to leverage rich data and analytics, all without compromising security.

“With ACI’s UP solutions, we can deliver faster and more efficient payment experiences for our clients.”

ACI has been in the news since the beginning of this year.

This February, the firm announced the acquisition of Speedpay, the US bill pay business of Western Union, for $750m.

In the same month, ACI acquired the technology assets of RevChip and TranSend to bolster its UP Merchant Payments solution.
