Case Study: Conductor achieves entry into the acquiring processing market with ACI Worldwide cloud-enabled payments and fraud solutions

Conductor Enters Acquiring Processing Market with Cloud-Enabled Solutions

Conductor, a Brazilian payments media technology leader and next‑gen payments processor, needed to expand into the acquiring processing market and required a cloud-enabled partner to meet aggressive time‑to‑market and growth targets. To capture the rising card-payments opportunity (BRL 1.84 trillion in card transactions in Brazil in 2019), Conductor engaged ACI Worldwide and its cloud solutions for retail payments and fraud and risk management executed through Microsoft Azure.

ACI Worldwide deployed its cloud retail payments platform and ML-driven fraud and risk capabilities on Microsoft Azure, enabling Conductor to launch acquiring processing services and strengthen fraud defenses. The partnership accelerated Conductor’s market entry and scalability—supporting its rapid growth (about 50% average annual growth since 2012, ~27 million active cards and more than R$100 billion processed annually)—while improving time‑to‑market, flexibility and cost‑effectiveness.
