Pick n Pay picks ACI Omni-Commerce payments platform

South African retailer Pick n Pay is set to utilise ACI Omni-Commerce, a point-to-point encryption (P2PE) omnichannel payments platform from ACI Worldwide.

“We anticipate significant growth in transaction volumes over the next ten years as a variety of innovative digital payments products are launched — the combination of scalability and flexibility that ACI Omni-Commerce offers will not only support that growth but also ensure we’re future-proofing our payments environment,” says Jason Peisl, Head of Customer Applications, Pick n Pay.

“Transitioning to a service-based architecture will reduce time to market and equip us to respond to global payment trends, enabling us not only to maintain but to expand our leadership position within South Africa’s retail sector.”

“Africa continues to be fertile ground for payments innovation, and South Africa, as the continent’s second largest economy, plays a key role,” adds Brett Stevens, Director, Africa, ACI Worldwide.

“Retailers need to move quickly to succeed in this challenging and dynamic environment, without compromising security and resilience of their core systems.”

“Continuing its long-standing cooperation with ACI, Pick n Pay is strongly placed to grow its market share, leveraging more of our device and channel-agnostic payment technologies as the needs of its customer base evolve.”

Established in 1967, Pick n Pay is the second largest supermarket chain retailer in South Africa.

It can also be found in other regions of southern Africa, including Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland.
