Auchan Group Selects ACI Worldwide To Provide Centralized Payments Platform

auchanAuchan Group, an international retail group of supermarkets based in France, has selected electronic payment solutions provider ACI Worldwide to deliver the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA)-compliant European card payments platform.

Auchan Group will implement the Postilion solution as the foundation for a centralized card platform that manages electronic transactions through all channels across Europe. The platform supports the new European standard EPAS protocol, which addresses the region’s numerous local standards and regulations.

Together, ACI and OneyBanque Accord — the banking subsidiary of Auchan Group — will operate the platform. Additionally, the platform will run in ACI’s data center, which hosts banking and payment solutions for more than 4,000 financial institutions, retailers and billers.

“Based on our successful pilot testing in France and Portugal, we knew that a centralized European card payments platform would soon become not only a reality, but a necessity,” said Arnaud Crouzet, Head of Group Global Payments Development at Auchan Group. “This new platform, which complies with SEPA standards, is a continuation of our corporate electronic payments strategy for safer, more open and more accessible European centralized acquiring.”
