FIS has launched its next-generation enterprise treasury platform, Treasury and Risk Manager – Quantum Cloud Edition, a cloud-native solution designed to enhance financial visibility and risk management for CFOs and corporate treasurers.

The platform offers enhanced capabilities including:

• Increased workload and transaction volume handling
• Greater enterprise connectivity
• Real-time cash management through a new Liquidity Hub module
• Improved data-driven decision-making
• Faster money movement and implementation

This launch addresses a critical market need, as research by EY shows that while 65% of businesses invest in cloud technology, only 32% achieve their intended goals. The solution integrates with multiple data sources, including ERP systems and bank APIs, enabling real-time cash analysis. The classic version of Quantum will remain available for both new and existing users, while the platform currently serves over 1,000 organizations.

FIS (NYSE: FIS), a leading financial technology company, has scheduled its first quarter 2025 financial results announcement for Tuesday, May 6, 2025, before market opening. The company will host a live webcast earnings conference call with the investment community at 8:30 a.m. (EDT) on the same day.

GTCR has announced the sale of Worldpay to Global Payments for $24.25 billion in a three-way transaction. The deal involves GTCR selling its 55% stake and FIS's 45% stake in Worldpay, while FIS will acquire Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business for $13.5 billion.

Under the agreement terms, GTCR will receive 59% cash and 41% stock consideration, resulting in 15% ownership of Global Payments' outstanding shares. The transaction follows GTCR's July 2023 acquisition of Worldpay's majority stake from FIS, where CEO Charles Drucker led initiatives to enhance global processing capabilities, launch innovative payment solutions, and strengthen fraud prevention offerings.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Both the Worldpay sale and Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business sale are cross-conditioned and will close simultaneously.

FIS has announced two major strategic transactions: the acquisition of Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business for $13.5 billion and the sale of its Worldpay stake to Global Payments for $6.6 billion.

The Issuer Solutions acquisition will strengthen FIS' fintech position, processing over 40 billion transactions annually across 75+ countries. The deal is expected to generate revenue synergies exceeding $125 million annually and net EBITDA synergies of more than $150 million by year three.

The transaction will be funded through $8 billion in new debt and proceeds from the Worldpay stake sale. FIS expects pro forma gross leverage of approximately 3.4x, targeting 2.8x within 18 months. Both transactions are expected to close in first half of 2026.

FIS also reported preliminary Q1 2025 results with total revenue of $2.5 billion and adjusted revenue growth of 4%.

FIS and Oxford Economics' research reveals businesses lose an average of $98.5 million annually due to disruptions across the money lifecycle. The study, surveying 1,000 C-suite leaders across six industries in the U.S., U.K., and Singapore, identified nine major sources of disharmony.

Key findings show that 88% of respondents face cyberthreats, 79% deal with fraud, and 65% struggle with regulatory complexities. The research highlights that 37% of companies experience daily cyberthreats, while 74% face critical threats monthly.

Companies implementing embedded finance solutions (82% of respondents) saw an average 8.5% growth in sales. However, challenges persist: 73% cite high costs as an obstacle to AI adoption, while 64% struggle with lack of expertise. Despite these challenges, 56% plan to use AI to increase market agility.

FIS (NYSE: FIS) has launched its automated Securities Finance Matching Platform in the U.S. following SEC filing completion. The cloud-native solution provides smart automated matching technology for broker-dealers, offering efficient, secure, and cost-effective securities financing.

The platform serves as a new alternative trading system (ATS) that automatically evaluates multiple factors including fee rates, capital requirements, transaction costs, and counterparty trading patterns to identify optimal matches between securities lenders and borrowers. This U.S. rollout follows the solution's U.K. launch in 2024, addressing the market's need for greater efficiency amid growing trade volumes and shrinking margins.

The platform aims to reduce single-point-of-failure risk in the securities finance industry while providing more choice for U.S. broker-dealers in smart securities matching.

FIS (NYSE: FIS) has secured two prestigious awards at the Treasury Management International 2025 Innovation & Excellence awards. The company won the Best Cash & Treasury Management Solution award for its Treasury and Risk Manager, Integrity Edition, and the Solution Innovation in AI award for its Treasury GPT generative AI tool.

The Integrity solution provides a modern treasury platform that enables real-time cash visibility and risk mitigation through cloud-native technology. The Treasury GPT, developed in collaboration with Microsoft using Azure OpenAI Service, is pioneering as the first large language learning model specifically designed for FIS Treasury Management solutions.

This recognition aligns with current market needs, as highlighted by the 2023 Global Treasury Survey from PwC, where 100% of corporate treasurers and 97% of CFOs prioritize cash and liquidity management, with inaccurate forecasting and visibility cited as their primary challenge.

FIS (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in financial technology, has announced its participation in the upcoming Bank of America Electronic Payments Symposium. The presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 10:40 am ET.
