Welcome to FinTech's 9th year! IDC Financial Insights, in association with American Banker and Bank Technology News, SourceMedia's renowned publications for banking and financial services professionals, will evaluate the revenues of the leading global technology and service providers to the financial services industry and construct the FinTech 100 and Enterprise 25 rankings.

The rankings categorize and evaluate vendors based on calendar year revenues attributable to financial institutions for hardware, software, or services. Two categories of companies are ranked:

FinTech 100 – includes vendors that derive more than one-third of their revenue from the financial services industry.

Top 25 Enterprise Companies in FinTech – includes enterprise companies in financial services that are horizontal technology firms selling products and services across multiple industries and derive less than one-third of their revenues from financial services.

Revenue from sales of network, telecommunications, electronic exchanges, and data services are EXCLUDED, as these business lines are not technologies essential to running financial services organizations. Firms, such as market data providers or credit bureaus, that derive significant revenues from excluded categories, but also have revenue tied to software, hardware, or services, are considered in these rankings. For these data providers, the revenue attributed to data is used to qualify the provider to meet the one-third hurdle, yet only the qualifying portion of their revenue is included in the ranking.
