Firm extends deal with IRS

NAPLES — ACI Worldwide extended its contract to process tax payments for the Internal Revenue Service for another five years.

Since 2000, Naples-based ACI has processed $14 billion worth of tax payments through its OfficialPayments.com site. The company says it has seen a 600% increase in payments via mobile devices.

“We are very excited to continue our relationship with the IRS; this marks the third consecutive time that the IRS has awarded us a 5-year RFP, which validates the flexibility, scalability and overall power of OfficialPayments.com,” says Carolyn Homberger, group president of ACI Worldwide, in a statement.
