The 2010 FinTech 100

Which financial services technology vendors have best weathered the storm? The 2010 FinTech 100 aims to find out.

The FinTech 100—American Banker, Bank Technology News and IDC Financial Insights' annual ranking of the largest technology vendors serving the financial services industry—is now open for nominations.

Go to the Nomination Form

The 2010 FinTech 100 list will rank companies from around the world based on their calendar year 2009 revenue from financial services. The Enterprise 25 list will rank horizontal companies—those that derive less than one-third of their revenue from financial services—based on their total sales to the industry. 2010 is the seventh year American Banker and IDC Financial Insights have ranked the FinTech 100, now a benchmark by which competitors gauge their success in the industry. Completed nomination forms are due July 2, 2010. For more information please contact Rebecca Sausner, Editor-in-Chief, Bank Technology News at Rebecca.Sausner@SourceMedia.com or 212.803.8639.
