Our take
FIS, founded in 1968 as Systematics, provides technology solutions for financial institutions and businesses globally. Offering a plethora of services within the space from payment management solutions to data driven insights, the company has since become the largest technology provider to the global financial industry.
The Fortune 500® company boasts over 300 payment methods in more than 125 countries across markets covering 99% of the world's GDP. In 2022, over $40 trillion was processed on their asset management technology – nearly half the world’s total and over 1.5x the GDP of the U.S.
FIS has undergone leadership changes and business cuts adding to the “reset” for the longstanding company. With the banking landscape leaning away from its traditional roots, a higher need for digital banking has led FIS to recently sell 45% of its Worldpay Merchant Solutions business. And newly appointed CEO Stephanie L. Ferris is making disruptive and innovative changes to keep the company at the forefront of its sector, it will be interesting to see how the company continues to evolve with these trying times.
