Helping financial institutions deliver real-time payments experiences
PISCATAWAY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#digitalpayments—Alacriti, a fintech company specializing in digital payments, today announced it is partnering with The Clearing House in order to help foster real-time payments adoption across the banking and credit union markets.
Alacriti provides a cloud-native platform for faster payments innovation, enabling both banks and credit unions to securely access the RTP network and rapidly deliver new products and services to their retail and corporate customers.

Avidia Bank, a $2 billion mutual community bank headquartered in Hudson, MA is working with Alacriti to help drive the market for real-time payments. “At Avidia we are constantly looking forward to what’s next and what’s differentiated to stay ahead of where the market is going. Working with progressive fintech players like Alacriti to quickly deliver real-time payment services on the RTP network is key to that end,” said Bob Conery, Chief Operating Officer at Avidia.
