Brazil’s Inter Pag has partnered with ACI Worldwide to accelerate its merchant acquiring expansion across Latin America’s largest economy. The deal, announced today, sees Inter Pag selecting ACI’s payments technology infrastructure to support its next growth phase as the acquiring arm of Banco Inter.
The strategic partnership positions ACI to strengthen its foothold in Brazil’s rapidly evolving payments market, where digital transactions continue surging. For Inter Pag, the technology upgrade aims to enhance processing capabilities and competitive positioning against established acquirers in a market increasingly dominated by instant payments and PIX adoption.
ACI Worldwide shares could see modest movement on the news as investors weigh the revenue potential from a major Brazilian client. The deal underscores continued consolidation in Latin American payment processing, with traditional banks leveraging specialized technology partners rather than building proprietary systems.
