Circle partners with ACI Worldwide to integrate USDC settlement into Latin American banking infrastructure starting with Colombia pilot

Circle has integrated USDC settlement into ACI Worldwide's banking infrastructure across Latin America, starting with a pilot in Colombia built on ACI's Bre-B instant-payments system. The collaboration pairs Circle's USDC with ACI's Connetic orchestration platform to demonstrate how stablecoin settlement can run alongside traditional payment rails rather than replace them. The pilot aims to test how a digital dollar like USDC can slot into Colombia's real-time, account-to-account Bre-B system to create a multi-rail ecosystem.
