The company is committed to providing optimal shopping experiences to its customers -- and due to rampant fraud in the region, Braspag required a powerful and proven anti-fraud offering, and selected ACI's market-leading solution.

"Collaborating with ACI provides our customers the best anti-fraud solution for their bsinesses, regardless of size. We continue to expand our services portfolio beyond serving as a payment gateway -- with market-leading real-time fraud monitoring capabilities," said Gastão Mattos, CEO, Braspag.
