The new Unisys solutions address credit and debit changes needed as a result of the Single European Payments Area (SEPA), a sweeping set of pending regulations facing the European banking community.

Unisys has expanded its partnership with Clear2Pay to offer additional solutions that take advantage of the combined flexibility of Clear2Pay’s service-oriented architecture (SOA) functionality and the Unisys platform. The new solution suite addresses SEPA rules and pending deadlines for direct debit and credit transfer and also includes a component for electronic bill presentment and payment.

Unisys is also partnering with Sterci to provide its Stelink messaging platform, a solution that helps banks to modernize aging financial messaging systems and address new rules from global standards-setters like the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication and the International Organization for Standardization. Unisys will integrate the Sterci Stelink solution with the Unisys Open Payments Platform to deliver payment processing in a SOA environment, offering a payment and messaging solution.
