In its latest flurry of stats, Temenos says tier 1 and 2 banks contributed 59% of its total software licensing in FY 2017, and it had 65 new customer wins.
Temenos CEO David Arnott says: “We won deals with Openbank, Itau, KBC and a US tier 1 bank among others [State Street, as FinTech Futures reported exclusively], which speaks to our global relevance and the strength of our value proposition.”
The firm had a total revenue growth of 15%, and grew profit by 17%. Total revenue for the year came to $736.7 million – with software licensing coming in at $316.1 million.
