The IDC FinTech Rankings are in their 19th year and look to evaluate technology providers based on calendar year revenues from financial institutions for hardware, software, and/or services. IDC collects data from vendor surveys, original research and in-house market analysis, according to a company statement.
“The providers featured in the annual FinTech Rankings supply the technological backbone of the financial services industry, an industry in which IDC Financial Insights forecasts worldwide spending on IT to be US$590 billion by 2025,” the group said in a statement.
Gary Norcross, chairman and CEO of FIS, said: “Earning the top spot in IDC’s FinTech rankings for nearly a decade brings great pride for FIS as it validates our approach and passion for advancing the way the world pays, banks, and invests.”
Marc DeCastro, research director, IDC Financial Insights, said: “The 125 companies represented in our IDC FinTech Rankings provide the innovation, efficiencies, and scale for the industry to succeed in a digital-first world.”
“When it comes to providing financial services technology solutions, these organisations currently capture close to 60% of the total spend of hardware, software, and services, which still leaves considerable opportunities for growth as well as new and emerging vendors to compete for the rest.”
