Only Card Payment Solutions Provider Recognized For Five Consecutive Years

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Hypercom Corporation (NYSE: HYC) has risen to the number 33 spot on the FinTech 100 annual ranking of the top technology providers to the global financial services industry, marking a nine-point gain over last year, according to American Banker and Financial Insights. The company is the only provider of high security card payment terminals and services to be recognized for five consecutive years.

The ranking is compiled by American Banker, SourceMedia's flagship publication for banking and financial services professionals, and by global independent advisor Financial Insights, an IDC Company. Launched in 2004, the ranking is based on overall revenues as well as revenues from the financial sector, enabling financial institutions to evaluate technology vendors both on their commitment to the industry and their market penetration.

"The global financial services industry is a major focus for Hypercom, and that is clearly reflected, yet again, in our standing as the only provider of card payment solutions to appear on the FinTech ranking for five years in a row," said Philippe Tartavull, Chief Executive Officer and President, Hypercom Corporation. "This fact demonstrates the recognition we hold in the financial services sector, and the success of our high security electronic transaction solutions."
