“Technology is the backbone of financial services, enabling efficiency and driving innovation in products and services offered by financial institutions”

Based on calendar year 2011 revenues, the FinTech 100 vendors collectively grew their revenues from $53 billion in 2010 to $64 billion in 2011, almost a 20 percent increase. The industry is also seeing increased globalization with 40 percent of the FinTech 100 hailing from outside the U.S. Some additional noteworthy highlights from this year’s ranking include:

• Predominance of outsourcers and services providers: Almost 50 percent of FinTech ranked providers describe themselves as outsourcers or IT service providers;
• There are 14 new entrants to the FinTech 100. Genpact (N.Y.) #22; Computer Services Inc. (KY) #60; Simplex Consulting Inc. (Japan) #61; BRQ IT Services (Brazil) #65; NIIT Technologies Inc.

(Ga.) #86; GBST Holdings Limited (Australia) #87; Diasoft (Russia) #88; TAS Group (Italy) #93; eFront S.A. (France) #95; and Primatics Financial (Va.) #99.
• Nine companies climbed ten or more spots in the ranking from 2010 to 2011. Six Payment Services of Switzerland jumped from #70 in 2010 to #46 in 2011; VASCO Data Security International rose 19 spots from #86 in 2010 to #67; Pegasystems achieved the #49 spot, up from #67 in 2010; Virtusa Corporation rose 15 spots from #79 to #64; Ingenico increased from #36 to #23; Misys jumped 12 spots from #31 to #19; Luxoft rose from #80 to #68; Fundtech grew from #64 to #53; and Financial Technologies jumped 10 spots from #99 to #89.
• The largest revenue increases came from Tata Consulting Services (TCS) and Cognizant, both IT services providers and outsourcers.

“It is encouraging to see so many new entrants to the FinTech 100 in today’s challenging financial environment,” said Penny Crosman, editor of Bank Technology News. “In this ninth year of the FinTech 100, we recognize technology providers that are growing their revenues, thereby demonstrating their success in effectively addressing the pertinent issues of financial institutions.”

“Technology is the backbone of financial services, enabling efficiency and driving innovation in products and services offered by financial institutions,” said Karen Massey, senior analyst, banking practice at IDC Financial Insights. “In today’s difficult financial environment, financial institutions are faced with business and regulatory challenges that require them to turn to leading technology consultants and providers for guidance and solutions. The FinTech 100 is an opportunity to highlight those technology providers that are tirelessly innovating to provide solutions that solve our industry's most pressing concerns.”

The 2012 ranking of the top 100 software and service providers in the financial services industry is categorized and evaluated by calendar year-end revenues (CY11) and the percentage of revenues from sales to financial services industry clients. The ranking includes vendors that derive more than one-third of eligible revenue from the financial services industry. Revenue from network, telecommunications, electronic exchanges and data services providers is ineligible. All rankings are based on IDC Financial Insights’ revenue estimates including information provided by more than 400 individual public and private companies.

The 2012 honorees will be formally recognized at an awards ceremony and breakfast briefing at the 2012 Bank Administration Institute’s (BAI) Retail Conference & Expo in Washington, D.C.
