ACI Worldwide Joins the Party to Talk Asia, Women in Fintech
Recently, ACI Worldwide, a real time banking solutions and electronic payment provider, announced it will be participating in the event to discuss the ‘Spotlight on Asia’ track and the Rise Up program. “India is among the most rapidly developing markets in APAC, as well as the largest adopter of Unified Payment Interface (UPI). UPI has quickly emerged as the second most common method of digital payment in the country, with transactions growing 10% per month. This session explores the development and adoption of UPI in India, the benefit to consumers and how IT can be used to accelerate payments innovation in the U.S.,” said Mandy Killam, executive vice president of Growth Markets.
She will be presenting “Addressing the APAC Opportunity and the Growth of UPI Transactions” alongside George Sam, co-founder, Mindgate Solutions, at 10:25 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27.

“One of the key components within leadership–and overcoming diversity issues–is emotional intelligence,” said Shawar, who has been selected as a Rise Up mentor. “From maintaining and enhancing work relationships, to managing stress, from bouncing back from adversity to being proactive instead of reactive, managing the power of emotions helps elevate leaders to be the best they can possibly be.”
