Fiserv Inc., a Brookfield-based provider of information technology solutions to the financial industry, today announced that the company has been named to the annual list of "The Innovators" by Bank Technology News.

Fiserv ranked second overall on the list, which profiles the financial services industry's 25 most advanced people, companies and technologies.

Honorees were recognized Monday during a dinner reception at the Hard Rock Live hotel in Orlando, Fla.

The reception featured keynote speaker Martin Lippert, chief operating and technology officer of Citigroup, who was presented with The Peter J. Kight Lifetime Achievement Award for his career achievements and commitment to excellence in technology innovation. The award is named in honor of Pete Kight, the founder of CheckFree who is now vice chairman of Fiserv.

"Fiserv is playing a leading role in shaping the future of financial services," said Holly Sraeel, editorial director of Bank Technology News. "This is the second consecutive year in which Fiserv has taken one of the top spots on 'The Innovators' list, with president and chief executive officer Jeff Yabuki receiving the first place ranking in 2007. The company has a vision for this industry, and has executed against that vision this year by delivering a portfolio of products that are moving financial services forward."

In 2008, Fiserv launched multiple products that enable financial institutions to capitalize on changing social and demographic trends.

"Fiserv is revolutionizing the way consumers and businesses interact with their financial service providers, and is partnering with those providers to improve efficiencies," Yabuki said. "Our top ranking on 'The Innovators; affirms that we are making progress toward our goal of bringing financial institutions solutions that allow them to thrive in an evolving market."
