ATLANTA, Oct. 20 - Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) today announced that it was honored for the sixth consecutive year as a technology leader in the 2010 FinTech 100 list by Bank Technology News and Financial Insights. The company ranked twentieth in this annual listing of technology companies that derive more than one-third of their revenue from the financial services industry. Out of 100 companies highlighted on this roster, Equifax was the only information solutions company ranked in the top 25 for the last four years.
"Driving performance in today's dynamic environment means that businesses must embrace high-impact solutions and technologies to address immediate market needs and long-term growth goals," said Rajib Roy, president, Equifax Technology and Analytical Services. "This honor demonstrates that innovation is at the forefront of everything we do - driving us to invest in data, analytics and technology that broaden our solutions and enable us to deliver greater customer value."
A continued commitment to innovation and collaborative leadership has created unique opportunities for Equifax to strengthen its industry expertise and enter new markets. Through its New Product Innovation Process, Equifax launched 65 new products in 2009 for new and existing markets, including identity management, capital markets, settlement services, government and collections. Significant investments in new data assets and decisioning technologies have resulted in innovative solutions that help customers across various sectors find more effective ways of managing and growing their businesses. Most recently, Equifax acquired Anakam, Inc., a global leader in multi-factor authentication, identity proofing and user verification technologies - enabling the company to expand its portfolio of solutions in the global identity management market.
Equifax and other companies named to this list were recognized at an awards event held during the 2010 BAI Retail Delivery Conference & Expo. The FinTech 100 ranking is compiled by Bank Technology News, one of SourceMedia's marquee publications for banking and financial services professionals, and Financial Insights, a leading independent research and advisory firm. This marks the seventh year that Financial Insights and Source Media have partnered to recognize financial technology leaders.
