Moody's Leads the RiskTech 100, Followed by SAS

Chartis RiskTech100 list puts Moody's at the top, followed by SAS.  Both have customer satisfaction scores of around 66%. FIS is third.

Other dimensions include Functionality, Core Technology, Strategy, Market Presence and Innovation.

The RiskTech100 has a 2026 overall ranking, category winners (e.g. AI for Banking where SAS wins, FRAML - or "Fraud and Anti Money Laundering" - where Nasdaq wins) and "Ones to Watch" (LikeZero in operational control and governance).

FinTech Megadeal for April 2025

FIS has announced it will purchase Global Payments' (GPN) issuer solutions business for $12bn, with GPN intending to buy WorldPay for $22.7bn 

(Note: WorldPay is 45% owned by FIS and 55% owned by Chicago private equity firm GTCR).

GPN is essentially divesting (issuer solutions) and investing (WorldPay), with a net investment of $10.7bn. 

GPN is run by Cameron Bready, who moved up from the CFO role, and was formerly of ITC Holdings Corp, electricity transmission company (publicly traded), where he focused on Finance and corporate development and prior to that was at Northeast utilities. He studied business in Atlanta. What remains in Global Payments following the divestment should be clearly understood - of course WorldPay will be a new integration.

Lots of analyst commentary has bubbled up around this deal with Mizuho commenting FIS is "winning the trade" as it acquires a "stable grower". Less commentary has surrounded GPN (GPN-WorldPay) specifically.
