By Megha Bhattacharya

Temenos today announced that it has been recognized as the market’s leading software provider with wins in nine categories, up from six categories last year, by IBS Intelligence’s Sales League Table 2021 (SLT). IBS Intelligence’s SLT has also ranked the company as a regional leader in the Americas, APAC, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa.

The IBS Intelligence Sales League Table is a barometer for the sales performance of banking platforms ranging from retail, to private, to Islamic, to digital-only and universal banking. The SLT enables executives in banks to select vendors for RFIs and influences vendor selection across conventional and digital banking.

Max Chuard, Chief Executive Officer, Temenos, said, “It’s a great honor to be recognized as the best-selling banking software provider in more categories than anyone else and in the most fiercely contested categories. We’re proud that we’re making banking better for 1.2 billion people every day, with clients such as PayPal launching its Buy Now Pay Later offering giving payment flexibility to consumers, Varo that is serving 180 million underbanked Americans, and Komerční Banka, part of Societe Generale, which selected Temenos to reinforce its leadership in digital banking. Thanks to our relentless investment in innovation, and our proven ability to deliver, we have occupied the top #1 or #2 positions for core banking systems for 22 consecutive years and we are also leading the way in the digital banking and payments categories. This year’s Sales League Table reconfirms Temenos as a global powerhouse, and I would like to thank our community of customers, partners and employees for collaborating with Temenos to revolutionize the industry.”

Temenos has led in nine categories in this year’s Sales League Table including,

• #1 Digital Banking and Channels with Temenos Infinity, signing 106 New Name Deals
• #1 best-selling Core Banking System with Temenos Transact, securing 48 New Named Deals
• #1 best-selling vendor for Neo Banks and Challenger Banks with nearly 2X the deals of the next vendor
• #1 best-selling Payments System – Retail, bringing on 47 New Name Deals
• #1 Risk Management System with 84 New Name Deals – 5X the next placed vendor
• Joint #1 best-selling Islamic Banking – Universal Banking (Core) with 5 New Name Deals
• #1 Regional Leader in the Americas, including signings with BCI, Itaú, and BlueShore Financial
• #1 Regional Leader in MEA, with new clients including Ahli Bank, STCPay, and Al Ain Finance
• #1 Regional Leader in APAC, signing Next Commercial Bank and Virgin Money Australia
• #2 Regional Leader in Europe, signing new clients such as Alpian, FlowBank, and ClearBank

Robin Amlôt, Managing Editor at IBS Intelligence, said, “The banking industry is facing a challenging environment with stiff competition from FinTechs and Challenger Banks introducing disrupting technologies. Many banks were already transitioning from legacy systems to innovative solutions and COVID-19 further accelerated the speed of digitization. The IBSI Sales League Table is the leading global barometer of supplier performance and during this tough year Temenos maintained its #1 position in highly competitive categories, and increased its leadership across verticals, ranking #1 in more categories than any other vendor.”
