Temenos Named Best-Selling Core Banking Provider for 21st Consecutive Year

WHY THIS MATTERS: The global financial sector is currently navigating a pivotal shift, moving away from fragmented, monolithic systems toward modular, cloud-native architectures that prioritize agility. As institutions grapple with the necessity of rapid service deployment and increasingly complex regulatory requirements, the stability of their underlying technological infrastructure has become a primary competitive differentiator. This sustained market dominance highlights a critical industry trend: banks are no longer just looking for software, but for long-term operational resilience that allows for seamless scalability. For financial institutions evaluating their digital maturity, the reliance on proven, high-scale technology providers reflects a strategic decision to de-risk modernization efforts while accelerating speed-to-market. Ultimately, this underscores that in an era of persistent innovation, security and operational reliability remain the bedrock upon which new digital experiences must be built.

Temenos (SIX: TEMN), a global leader in banking technology, today announced it was ranked the best-selling provider in 15 categories in the 2026 IBS Intelligence Annual Sales League Table (SLT), including #1 in Core Banking for the 21^st consecutive year.

Temenos also ranked #1 in Payments, Risk Management, Treasury & Risk Management, Digital-only Banks and all Islamic Banking categories. It also ranked #1 for Geographic Spread, was named a Regional Leader in North America, and secured the top regional position in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and LATAM.

Based on independently verified deal data, the IBS Intelligence Sales League Table provides one of the clearest measures of commercial success in the industry. Temenos’ two decades of leadership in core banking, alongside #1 positions across other major banking categories, demonstrate the breadth of its business and its enduring strength.

Will Moroney, Chief Revenue Officer, Temenos, commented: “These results reinforce Temenos’ position as the clear leader across our core markets. They reflect the trust banks place in Temenos to deliver mission-critical technology at scale, with the depth of functionality and expertise needed to support complex transformation. We are particularly proud to be recognized as a Regional Leader in North America, reflecting the momentum we continue to build in this important market.”

Nikhil Gokhale, Head of Research Platforms at IBS Intelligence, said: “Congratulations to Temenos for its exceptional performance at the SLT 2026 Awards. Its performance across multiple categories reflects the scale, breadth, and consistency of its banking technology portfolio. With long-running consecutive wins, Temenos continues to demonstrate its ability to support financial institutions across geographies, business lines, and transformation priorities.”

FF NEWS TAKE: While the consistency of these rankings underscores a formidable market grip, the true test for legacy-adjacent providers lies in their ability to outpace nimble, SaaS-native challengers. Moving the needle in 2026 requires more than sheer deal volume; it demands deep interoperability within the broader banking ecosystem. We should watch for whether Temenos can accelerate its cloud-native migration faster than specialized competitors can capture the growing mid-market segment.
