JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Fundtech, a market leader in global transaction banking solutions, has won The Banker's Innovation in Technology and Transaction Banking Award for Best Payments Technology.

"The Banker surveyed leading CIOs to pick its technology provider award winners," said Brian Caplen, editor of The Banker. "For payments technology they chose Fundtech on the basis of its excellent Global PAYplus Service Platform for high value, mass and immediate payments. The system's key features are a 24-hour real-time service and its integration with other data and systems which cuts down on risk. Congratulations to Fundtech on this triumph."
