Repeats top position for fifth time in six years since list inception 
BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(Business Wire)--
Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, today announced that IDC Financial Insights, a leading
independent and global provider of research-based advisory and consulting
services, American Banker and Bank Technology News have once again ranked Fiserv
as the No. 1 company on the FinTech 100 for 2009, an annual international
listing of the top technology vendors from the financial services industry.
Fiserv has been a top leader in this survey every year of the survey`s
existence, earning the No. 1 position five of the last six years. 

"Fiserv embarked on a journey of transformation three years ago, with the
objective to focus on providing the financial services industry with
best-in-class technology solutions. Even in the midst of a challenging economy,
Fiserv is emerging stronger and more innovative than ever before," said Jeffery
Yabuki, Fiserv President and Chief Executive Officer. "This prestigious
achievement is a testament to the quality and commitment of our 20,000
associates who earn client trust every day." 

Nearly two years ago, Fiserv completed its largest acquisition ever, CheckFree
Corp., the market leader in online banking, electronic bill payment and
presentment, and in February re-launched Fiserv with a new one Fiserv structure,
go-to-market strategy and brand. 

"One of our important objectives is to help our clients win in the digital
transformation of financial services," added Yabuki. "The technology landscape
will change dramatically over the next five years. Consumers in every geography
will have an unprecedented level of empowerment to connect with financial
services providers, and how and where they make payments with channels such as
online, mobile, person-to-person, in addition to more traditional forms of
banking. There will also be changing models in how these services are delivered
to banks, credit unions and brokerage firms. Fiserv sees significant growth
opportunities as financial institutions look to outsource some aspects of their
technology, as innovative partners are engaged from research and development
through implementation to fill the needs of these consumers," explained Yabuki. 

"Fiserv is a perennial leader in the FinTech 100. This has been a challenging
year for many of the companies we have been tracking, but we have observed that
financial services technology providers can lead the industry forward by ever
seeking efficiency and ways to monitor and reduce, yet still remain flexible to
evolve and plan for the marketplace and its shifting delivery channels in order
to survive and thrive," said Jeanne Capachin, research vice president of global
banking for IDC Financial Insights. 

Introduced in 2004, the FinTech 100 is the world`s only ranking of technology
providers in the financial services industry, comprising the top vertical
technology vendors that derive more than a third of their revenue from sales to
financial services industry clients. For more information about the rankings,
