IDC FinTech Rankings: Top 100 and Enterprise Top 50

The IDC FinTech Rankings categorize and evaluate technology providers strictly based on previous calendar year revenues from financial institutions (banking, insurance, and/or capital markets) or directly to fintech solution providers for hardware, software, and/or services.

Two categories of companies are ranked:

  1. IDC FinTech Top 100: Solution providers that derive more than one-third of their revenue from the financial services and FinTech industries AND across no more than two additional key non FSI industry verticals.
  2. IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 50: Solution providers supporting four or more key industries yet have sufficient revenues from the financial services and FinTech industries to be ranked.

IDC FinTech Rankings

IDC will rank in order only the top 25 of the IDC FinTech Top 100 companies and the top 10 of the IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 25. All other companies will be categorized into the following:

  • IDC FinTech Top 25: Each company will be ranked and listed in order and part of the IDC FinTech Top 25
  • IDC FinTech Top 50: All companies ranked 26-50 will be listed alphabetically and part of the IDC FinTech Top 50
  • IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 50: All companies ranked 26-50 will be listed alphabetically as part of the IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 50
  • IDC FinTech Top 100: All companies ranked 51-100 will be listed alphabetically and part of the IDC FinTech Top 100
  • IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 10: Each company will be ranked and listed in order and part of the IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 10
  • IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 25: All companies ranked 11-25 will be listed alphabetically as part of the IDC FinTech Enterprise Top 25
  • Special Recognition Program: Every year, IDC FinTech Rankings program will identify two categories for special recognition:
    1. IDC FinTech Top 100 Emerging FinTech: Companies that were not ranked in the previous IDC FinTech Rankings program will be recognized in the Emerging FinTech category.
    2. IDC FinTech Top 100 Fast Track FinTech: Companies ranked in the previous IDC FinTech Rankings program and have noticeably grown year over year on our rankings will be recognized in the Fast Track FinTech category.

Revenue from sales of network, telecommunications, electronic exchanges, and data services is EXCLUDED from the IDC FinTech Rankings. Firms such as market data providers or credit bureaus that derive revenues from excluded categories, but also have revenue tied to software, hardware, or services, are considered in these rankings. For these data providers, the revenue attributed to data is used to qualify the provider to the appropriate IDC FinTech category, yet only the qualifying portion of revenue is included in the process.
