Brookfield, Wis., June 27, 2011 - Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, today announced its Financial Crime Risk Management platform has received "Best-in-Class" recognition in Aite Group's "Global Anti-Money Laundering Vendor Evaluation". The findings were based on the independent research and advisory firm's interviews with 18 global anti-money laundering (AML) compliance vendors and 36 financial institutions.

"The AML software market, currently valued at $450 million globally, will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9 percent, reaching $690 million in 2015. This points to the fact that financial crime and the need for effective technology for its prevention will be rising to the top of the banking agenda over the next few years," said Julie Conroy McNelley, senior analyst with Aite Group. "Financial institutions need to evaluate their current AML compliance mechanisms to determine whether they have progressed with the changing times to include areas such as case management systems."

"Increasing regulation, tougher penalties for non-compliance and country-specific and international watch lists are all challenges that banks are grappling with. Criminals are finding new ways to 'pick the locks' of financial institutions so it is important that banks stay one step ahead in financial crime prevention," said John Filby, President, Risk and Compliance Solutions,  Fiserv. "Our solution is a critical element of an overall financial crime mitigation strategy - with advanced analytics, flexible case management tools and multi-channel fraud capabilities it can be used for AML only or as an enterprise financial crime management system. We are delighted that Aite has recognized our platform as being an advanced solution in the ever-evolving fight against all types of financial crime."
