“This year’s FinTech 100 list highlights banks’ `flight to quality,’ as they consolidate their technology spending with the industry’s largest and most established players,” said Rebecca Sausner, editor of Bank Technology News.



“The last 18 months has been challenged with the worst financial crisis and recession in generations,” said Dana Wiklund, research director, Risk Management, IDC Financial Insights. “One underlying positive is that technology innovation around financial services continues. The evidence for this is year-over-year growth in both aggregate FinTech 100 revenue ($52 Billion up from $45 Billion in 2008) and the minimum threshold for making the FinTech 100 list (up to $50 Million from $36 Million in 2008). Growth in the global participation further underscores the diversification of solutions throughout the industry.”



The 2009 ranking of the top 100 application/service providers in the financial services industry is categorized and evaluated by calendar year-end revenues (CY08) and the percentage of revenues from sales to financial services industry clients. The FinTech 100 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; therefore percentages less than 33% reflect these adjustments within the rankings. All rankings are based on Financial Insights’ revenue estimates including information provided by public and private companies. Financial Insights conducted analysis on more than 400 companies for this recognition.



The 2009 honorees will be honored at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference & Expo in Boston at an awards breakfast on November 4 at the Westin Boston Waterfront.
