RocketFuel CEO Peter Jensen said: “We are excited to partner with payments leader ACI Worldwide to spur more choice for merchants and their customers. RocketFuel’s ‘Zero Fees for Life’ pricing model makes this an attractive alternative to other traditional methods of payments that include a fee for merchants.”

It is a win-win all around.”
