Fintech giant Temenos acknowledged as a leading global player in the financial technology sector by CNBC.
In a significant recognition of its innovative AI-driven banking technology, Temenos has been named in CNBC's list of the World's Top Fintech Companies for 2025. The ranking, developed in partnership with market research firm Statista, highlights the most impactful fintech companies driving transformation across financial services.
The recognition is chiefly attributed to Temenos' innovations in AI-driven banking technology, customer-centric approach, and substantial investment in R&D. Key contributions include the launch of Temenos AI products like the FCM AI Agent, an AI-enhanced compliance tool that reduces false positives in sanctions screening, and the introduction of the Product Manager Copilot, a generative AI solution for financial institutions.
The FCM AI Agent, a notable recent innovation, can help banks significantly reduce false positives in sanctions screening. On the other hand, the Product Manager Copilot is designed to help financial institutions design, launch, test, and optimize financial products faster.
Temenos' market-leading, cloud-native core banking suite and modular solutions enable banks worldwide to modernize their operations flexibly via on-premises, cloud, or SaaS deployments. This flexibility offers financial institutions choice and a path to banking modernization.
The company's continuous commitment to innovation, investing around 20% of revenues into R&D annually, underpins these advancements and supports its position as a trusted partner globally to over 950 core banking and 600 digital clients.
These innovations were also recognized by Euromoney as the World's Best Core Banking Solution in 2025, emphasizing Temenos' leading role in the digital transformation of banking. At the Temenos Community Forum 2025, with broad global attendance, Temenos launched new AI-integrated products reinforcing its strategy to accelerate growth through innovation.
Jean-Pierre Brulard, CEO of Temenos, made a statement about the recognition, expressing his pride in the company's achievements and reaffirming Temenos' commitment to driving innovation in the banking sector. Brulard also mentioned that Temenos is a trusted partner to financial institutions worldwide.
More than 2,000 global firms were evaluated across key fintech categories, with the final 300 companies chosen based on a combination of publicly available data, company-submitted performance metrics, and independent sector-specific research. Temenos was named in the Enterprise Fintech category.
This recognition underscores Temenos' position as a leader in the fintech industry, leveraging AI, cloud-native technology, and a strong R&D focus to deliver innovative solutions that drive efficiency, risk reduction, and product innovation in the banking sector.
