BROOKFIELD, Wis., Nov 13, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV), a leading provider of information technology services to the financial industry, today announced Financial Insights and American Banker have ranked Fiserv as the No. 1 company on the FinTech 100 Survey, an annual international listing of the top vertical technology companies. This is the fifth consecutive year that Fiserv has been a top leader in this survey and has earned the top spot four of the last five years.

Fiserv, who has been ranked No. 1 in each of the FinTech survey in 2006, 2005 and 2004, was named in the No. 2 position last year. This year Fiserv regained the top spot, in part due to the acquisition of CheckFree, the industry leader in online banking, billpay and presentment.

We have made many changes over the past year to sharpen our focus on delivering best-in-class value to the financial services industry," said Jeffery Yabuki, Fiserv President and Chief Executive Officer.
