ACI Speedpay mobile wallet capabilities enable remote payments as COVID pandemic reduces in-person options
ACI Worldwide, a leading global provider of real-time digital payment software and solutions, today announced that Athol Credit Union (ACU) has selected ACI Speedpay to drive digital payments for its members. ACI enables the digitization of cash payments through the use of a barcode payment token, making it easier for members who rely on cash payments to easily pay their bills.
“The pandemic has made bill payments challenging for all consumers. While safety and social distancing are concerns, some consumers who have a greater reliance on paying with cash might find fewer cash payment options available due to the pandemic”
Massachusetts-based ACU provides financial services, including savings and checking accounts, loans, insurance, and credit and debit cards, among other services. Using ACI Speedpay, ACU will now be able to offer its members digital bill payment options, including the ability to pay through their smartphone. The mobile wallet feature — ACI moBills — provides a convenient choice for consumers who now expect mobile payment options from their financial institutions and billers. With ACI moBills, consumers can also make cash payments using a barcode payment token at more than 60,000 participating retail agents.
