"A number of the world's biggest technology companies provide solutions that have significant impact on the financial services industry," said David Longobardi, editor in chief, American Banker. "These rankings represent vendors that offer a broad portfolio of solutions to financial institutions that positively impact their efficiency and profitability. Many financial institutions today look to technology vendors as an extension of their organization and these rankings help financial institutions select vendors that truly understand the financial services arena."

"Large companies serving the financial industry are more likely to help institutions implement a dynamic IT environment," said Jeanne Capachin, research vice president of Global Banking for Financial Insights. "The FinTech 25 companies are helping financial institutions with that transformation."

Consideration for the top 25 enterprise technology companies for 2007 is determined by calendar year-end revenues (CY06) and the percentage of revenues from sales to financial services industry clients, with final rankings based upon total sales to financial institutions. In addition to the FinTech Top 25 Enterprise Technology Companies, American Banker and Financial Insights also released the fourth annual FinTech 100 ranking of the top technology providers to the financial services industry.

The 2007 winners will be honored at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference & Expo in Las Vegas at an awards breakfast on November 14 at the Mandalay Bay.
