## Source summary

The Paypers reports that ACI Worldwide extended ACI Connetic so banks can route, monitor, control and reconcile tokenized-deposit payments on Swift’s blockchain-based ledger alongside traditional payment flows. The article says 17 banks across six continents were piloting Swift-ledger use cases; this is an integration and pilot-stage signal, not proof of broad production adoption.

## Why it matters

The integration aims to bring tokenized deposits into existing bank payment operations rather than require a parallel workflow. Swift-ledger usage is still described as pilot activity, so deployment stage and interoperability are the key follow-up checks.

## Key numbers

- **Participating banks:** 17 banks

## Topics and entities

- Industry lane: Web3 & stablecoin payments
- Entities: ACI Worldwide / Swift
- Web3 payments
- Cross-border payments

## Evidence and credibility note

The Paypers is independent specialist trade media; product functionality is reported from ACI, while the 17-bank pilot figure is attributed to Swift. The source does not establish broad production-scale payment volumes.
