EPAM Named a Top 25 Enterprise Company in IDC Financial Insights FinTech Rankings

NEWTOWN, Pa., Sept. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM), a leading global provider of product development and software engineering solutions, today announced it has been listed 24th on the 2016 IDC Financial Insights FinTech Rankings Top 25 Enterprise. The elite list features enterprise companies serving multiple industries that derive less than one-third of their revenues from financial institutions.

"EPAM's debut on this list, along with exceptional companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Accenture, and Deloitte, demonstrates our ability to help the industry manage strategic challenges driven by complex regulatory and process changes," said Balazs Fejes, SVP and Co-Head of Global Business, EPAM. "The banking and financial services industry is a large focus for us and we have a long history and deep expertise in current and emerging FinTech. By applying our substantial engineering capabilities, with our domain knowledge in wealth management, next generation payments, capital markets, and transformational technologies such as blockchain, we enable our customers to accelerate time-to-market and process transactions with greater security, speed, and efficiency."

EPAM works with five out of the 10 largest investment banks and three of the five leading global banks, as well as wealth management institutions, exchanges and brokerages, market data providers, insurance and technology providers. The company provides agile digital banking transformation, including wealth management application development, service design and delivery, testing and automation, security and assurance, mobile strategy consulting, and user experience services.

Now in its 13th year, the IDC Financial Insights FinTech Rankings categorize and evaluate the top global providers of financial technology based on calendar year revenues from financial institutions for hardware, software and/or services. These providers supply the technological backbone of the financial services industry, an industry in which IDC Financial Insights forecasts worldwide spending on IT across the globe to reach half a trillion dollars by 2018.

The annual IDC Financial Insights FinTech Rankings have become an important measure of the health and direction of technology in the industry and the emergence of innovative solutions from new players. In addition, the IDC Financial Insights FinTech Rankings serve as a critical tool for financial services institutions to use during strategic planning and to review in considering new investments in 3rd party solutions. IDC Financial Insights publishes a comprehensive report about the year's findings that is available to view or download.
