i2c Inc., a global financial technology provider, has been named to the 2026 IDC FinTech Rankings Top 100 for the second consecutive year, earning the “Emerging FinTech” distinction. The recognition places the Redwood City-based company among elite technology providers worldwide serving the financial services and fintech industries, evaluated by IDC Financial Insights based on prior calendar year revenues from financial institutions and fintech solution providers.

  • Platform: PowerOne unified banking and payments platform
  • Geographic Reach: Operations in more than 216 countries and territories
  • Company History: More than 25 years of payments engineering experience
  • Ranking Scope: IDC evaluates 150 largest financial technology providers globally

The PowerOne platform integrates credit, debit, and prepaid issuer processing, core banking, and money movement capabilities on a single codebase. i2c built the platform to operate without legacy technology constraints, enabling financial institutions and fintechs to scale efficiently, respond to market demands, and compete in an increasingly crowded sector.

We believe i2c’s inclusion in the IDC FinTech Rankings Top 100 for the second consecutive year reflects a decision we made at the start: to build a banking and payments platform free from the constraints of legacy technology. Where others assembled a patchwork of vendors and acquisitions, we engineered a single platform on a single codebase, which today runs programs in more than 216 countries and territories. A ranking based on what financial institutions actually spend is the validation that matters most to us.
