Continuing its role as a leader in the financial services technology
industry, FIS™
(NYSE: FIS), the world’s largest provider of banking and payments
technology solutions and a global leader in consulting and outsourcing
solutions, was named No. 1 on the 2014 FinTech Forward 100.
The FinTech Forward 100 is the inaugural listing of the world’s leading
technology providers by American Banker and BAI; it was released
today at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference in Chicago.
“This recognition is a reflection of the intense commitment our people
make to serving our clients every day,” said Gary Norcross, president
and COO, FIS. “The FinTech industry is incredibly competitive, meaning
we must always be at the top of our game in order to remain the
strategic technology partner our clients require. We value rankings like
this because they show that our efforts at putting our clients first
continue to pay off.”
To meet the growing needs of clients, FIS over the last year expanded
its P2P
payments capabilities, launched an integrated
prepaid and mobile solution offering to help financial institutions
compete against alternative financial service providers and reach young
and mobile customers, and introduced a risk
management solution designed to respond to risks at their earliest
stages. It also made significant investments and acquisitions in the
areas of payments,
wealth
management and lending
as it continued to innovate and drive client success.
“With its breadth of services and market penetration, FIS is
demonstrating its success in financial services technology,” said Jeanne
Capachin, founder and principal of Capachin Research, who analyzed
submissions for BAI. “FIS tops our rankings and holds this place thanks
to a wide range of solutions that institutions trust for their
mission-critical businesses.”
FinTech Forward was created by two of banking’s top professional
information and education organizations, American Banker and BAI,
to identify the forces and trends that drive financial institutions to
invest in technology. Rankings are determined by year-end revenues and
the percentage of those revenues attributed to financial services, as
validated by BAI. To see the full FinTech Forward 100 list, visit the American

This recognition marks the second time in two months that FIS has been ranked
No. 1 among FinTech providers in prestigious industry rankings.
