April 29, 2010 (FinancialWire) — ACI Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACIW) and Bell ID, both international providers of electronic payments software and solutions, said they have contracted with their first customer as part of their strategic partnership launched late last year.

A financial institution in North America has selected the ANDiS4EMV solution for EMV card management, as a long-term investment in card issuing and to ensure it can always respond to changing customer and market demands. This first new account is a significant step in the partnership, which enables ACI Worldwide to license and market Bell ID's suite of products for smart card management to financial markets and retailers around the world.

ANDiS4EMV enables the institution to issue chip-based smart payment cards, and manage the life-cycle of its card base, including PINs, payment applications and cryptographic keys. It can also help the organization to better manage risk through control of the EMV parameters, and provide better customer service through branch instant issuance of a fully-customized EMV card.
