In fiscal year 2024, FIS reported revenues of approximately $10.1 billion (continuing revenue from Banking Solutions — core banking systems, payments processing for financial institutions, digital banking platforms — and Capital Market Solutions — asset management software, trading technology, treasury management), with CEO Stephanie Ferris (appointed CEO in January 2023 following the departure of Gary Norcross) executing the "FIS Accelerate" transformation plan to improve operational efficiency, grow recurring software revenue, and return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. FIS's remaining business (post-Worldpay) focuses on mission-critical software for banks and capital markets firms: IBS (International Banking System — core banking for large global banks), HORIZON (community bank core banking), TOTAL PLUS (credit union software), and capital markets post-trade processing for broker-dealers, asset managers, and treasury departments.
