Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), provider of the industry platform
Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers rely upon, today announced that ACI
Worldwide, a leading global provider of real-time electronic payment and
banking solutions, has joined Guidewire PartnerConnect™ as a Solution Partner.
The companies also announced that ACI’s new Ready for Guidewire
validated accelerator is now available to insurers in the Guidewire
Marketplace.
With the Ready for Guidewire accelerator, P&C insurers can
quickly integrate ACI’s UP Bill Payment solution with Guidewire
PolicyCenter™, allowing them to provide their policyholders with easier
ways to make payments, including one-time
and recurring payments via credit card, debit card, or ACH. ACI’s UP
Bill Payment enables insurers to accommodate a multitude of ways a
policyholder may want to pay their premium, and the integration with
PolicyCenter means insurers can offer these options at the time the
policy is sold or renewed. Additionally, insurers will be able to
simplify PCI compliance as ACI collects, tokenizes and stores payment
information leveraging its security capabilities.
“ACI is committed to helping organizations improve their customers’
experience while more easily ensuring PCI compliance,” said Sanjay
Gupta, executive vice president, ACI Worldwide. “Making our solution
Guidewire-ready, and accessible from within PolicyCenter, allows
insurers to provide their policyholders with many flexible payment
options to best cater to their needs and preferences.”
The ACI Ready for Guidewire accelerator helps insurers:
-
Increase policyholder satisfaction by offering easier ways to pay
premiums, such as one-time
and recurring payments via credit card, debit card, or ACH; -
Boost retention by securely capturing and storing policyholder payment
information for convenient recurring and renewal payments; and - Simplify their compliance with rigorous PCI Data Security Standards.
ACI is developing additional Ready for Guidewire accelerators for
Guidewire BillingCenter™ and ClaimCenter to serve the insurers’ payment
requirements across the entire policyholder journey.
“We are pleased to welcome ACI to Guidewire PartnerConnect as a Solution
partner,” said Neil Betteridge, vice president, Strategy, Guidewire
Software. “ACI’s UP Bill Payment solution is helping companies around
the world process payments efficiently and securely, while helping them
to meet PCI compliance standards. We are pleased to bring these benefits
to our mutual customers via the ACI Ready for Guidewire
accelerator.”
