Aevi, a provider of in-person payment orchestration, has been recognised as Best Payment Orchestration Solution at the PayTech Awards 2026, hosted by FinTech Futures.
The award celebrates innovation, impact, and leadership across the global payments industry and acknowledges Aevi’s contribution to simplifying and scaling modern in-person commerce.
A shift driven by customer expectations
Consumers now expect their preferred payment methods, faster checkouts, integrated loyalty experiences, local payment options, and seamless movement between digital and physical channels. Businesses can no longer optimize purely for operational simplicity. They must continuously adapt to changing customer expectations.
“Consumers expect choice, speed, and consistency wherever they pay. When those expectations aren’t met, they move on. Orchestration is what allows businesses to keep up with that reality without adding more complexity,”said Sarah Koch, director of marketing and communications at Aevi.
Why orchestration is becoming essential
This growing complexity is driving the need for orchestration.
Payment orchestration acts as a coordination layer that connects devices, acquirers, processors, applications, and value-added services into one operating model. Rather than replacing existing infrastructure, orchestration enables businesses to preserve what already works while gaining the flexibility to evolve over time.
Aevi focuses on one of the most fragmented areas of commerce: in-person payments.
Merchants often manage multiple terminals, acquirers, processors, countries, payment methods, and compliance requirements simultaneously. Aevi helps connect these fragmented environments into one coordinated ecosystem.
Today, Aevi powers more than 270,000 connected endpoints, processes over 3.1 billion payment transactions, and delivers uptime exceeding 99.99 per cent for its customers.
“This recognition belongs to our customers, partners, and every Aevi’ator who believes that the future of payments should be open. We’re proud to help businesses turn payments from a source of complexity into a foundation for growth,” Koch added.
