ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ:TSAI), a leading international provider of software for electronic payment systems, today announced that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has implemented BASE24-eps^™ to enhance the processing and routing of debit and credit card transactions originating from WMATA’s ticketing machines in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

“The flexibility and scalability of BASE24-eps allows WMATA to easily add other transit systems to our network, such as the Maryland Transit Authority (MTA), which we plan to add later this year,” said Chris Cipperly, assistant treasurer, Office of the Treasurer Department of Finance at WMATA. “Our debit and credit transactions are routed and processed much more efficiently than before, which has benefited both WMATA and our customers.”
