ACI Worldwide Recognized as one of the Top 100 Global Providers of Financial Technology

ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading international provider of electronic payment systems, today announced its ranking on the FinTech 100, an annual international listing of the top vertical technology vendors that derive more than one third of their revenue from this industry as named by American Banker, Bank Technology News and IDC Financial Insights. ACI, which moved up four places, is now ranked 24th on the list of financial technology companies that were judged according to their global revenues.

This ranking comes on the heels of ACI being named by Forbes as one of America’s Best Companies with sales of less than $1 billion (ACI was ranked 47^th). The company has seen considerable global growth for its award-winning offerings, with increased demand from financial institutions, processors and retailers looking for a competitive edge to better serve their customers. Additionally, through recent acquisitions, the company has bolstered its comprehensive product portfolio and expanded its leadership position in electronic payments.

Moreover, ACI has strengthened its offerings across all key product lines and, earlier this year, brought to market ACI Universal Payments (UP). Already named a “Best-in-Class” solution in Payments Capability by CEB TowerGroup, ACI Universal Payments is a set of technologies and frameworks that orchestrates all aspects of payments processing for any payment type, any channel, any currency, any network, anywhere.

"The FinTech 100 ranking is the most comprehensive global ranking of technology providers to the financial services industry, and being ranked in the top 25 demonstrates leadership among this elite group of vendors,” said Karen Massey, Senior Analyst, Banking, IDC Financial Insights. “ACI has been ranked on the FinTech 100 for the full 10 years of the program, with forward financial performance each year resulting from strategic vision and innovation serving financial institutions."

“Moving into the FinTech top 25 is a great accomplishment and testament to the incredible team at ACI,” said Jeremy Wilmot, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Americas, ACI Worldwide. “We have worked tirelessly to provide customers with a value proposition unmatched in the global payments industry—the most complete family of solutions and services—and this ranking is further validation of that work.”
