As per the terms of the accord, USFSG will deliver customised services and consultancy to ACI’s customers and recommend them on how to manage their payments processing expenses and reduce the costs involved in accepting card payments.

ACI Worldwide SVP of Strategic Planning and Marketing Louis Blatt said taht interchange fees account for most of the payment acceptance costs so it is essential that systems and processes are as efficient as possible to minimize costs.

The consultancy services enables the clients to overview the retailers payment systems for possible areas of improvements, such as errors in billing, contracts, interchange downgrades caused by incorrect point of sale settings, unneeded services being billed, or incorrect employee procedures.
