VIEWPOINTE NAMED TO PRESTIGIOUS FINTECH 100 FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR Recognition Marks Viewpointe as “Who’s Who” of Financial Services Elite
NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2008 - Viewpointe®, one of the nation’s leading providers of check image exchange and archive services, was named for the third consecutive year to the prestigious FinTech 100 listing of the top global technology and service providers to the financial services industry.
The FinTech 100 acknowledges companies that derive more than one-third of their revenue from the financial services industry. Viewpointe’s place within The FinTech 100 for the third year in a row attests to the company’s growth and innovation, despite a softening economy.
“Being named once again to the FinTech 100 is such an honor,” said Lou Buglioli, Viewpointe CEO. “The dedication of our customers to continuously seek new technology paired with our commitment to help drive complete industry electronification has driven Viewpointe to remain at the fore. We are unceasing in our goal to provide groundbreaking, cost-effective and secure solutions to our valued customers.”
Viewpointe has taken many steps to help lead the industry toward complete check electronification and payments convergence in the past year. Viewpointe’s noteworthy accomplishments this past year include:
- Reaching a milestone by surpassing 125 billion images, maintaining Viewpointe’s rank as the largest check image archive in the world.
- Announcing plans to acquire the assets of PaymentsNation, enabling Viewpointe to house both clearing and settlement functions that are essential to the payments process.
- Unveiling Viewpointe Image Integrity™, a revolutionary new product designed specifically to help financial institutions manage the risks associated with check image and data mismatches that can occur during check processing.
- Introducing the Viewpointe Pointe2Pointe® Internet connectivity option – providing a cost-effective solution for financial institutions with check image volumes of 75 million or fewer to join the movement toward complete electronification.
“Viewpointe continues to serve a unique role in the industry as a platform for image sharing as well as image exchange,"" said Aaron McPherson, Practice Director at Financial Insights and a member of the FinTech 100 research team. “As the check industry completes its transition from paper to image, Viewpointe will play an increasingly important role in helping financial institutions realize cost savings and new revenue opportunities."

Technology companies that derive one-third of their revenue from the financial services market are considered for the ranking.
