Postilion Management

The Postilion suite by ACI Worldwide provides capabilities across payment switching, transaction processing, and card issuing. Key components include:

• Realtime payment switching
• Card issuing
• ATM and POS driving
• Payment acquiring

Eclipse integrates tightly with Postilion to offer a unified platform with hosted services such as:

• Instant Card Issuing as a Service
• Acquiring and Payment as a Service
• SME in-a-box Services, including Terminal Management
• Rapid acceleration of Banking-as-a-Service deployments

There are various deployment options including:

• Eclipse and Postilion offered as hosted services
• Eclipse integrated into an existing Postilion instance

This section outlines the prerequisites for connecting an Eclipse instance to Postilion.
