ACI Worldwide is set to pay $20 million as part of a proposed settlement with states related to lax data handling and erroneous transactions that resulted in previous penalties against the company levied by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

In June, ACI was ordered to pay $25 million by the CFPB over improper data handling that led to approximately $2.3 billion in erroneous mortgage payment transactions.

In a quarterly filing Thursday, the company disclosed it reached agreements in principle with all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and certain U.S. territories to settle similar charges.
