RICHMOND, CA, November 8, 2005 – VICOR, Inc., the leading provider of solutions that optimize the processing of complex payments for businesses and financial institutions, today announced that for the second consecutive year it has been ranked among the top 100 global technology and services providers to the financial industry by the prestigious FinTech 100, published by American Banker and Financial Insights (an IDC Company). Thousands of large and important companies actively sought inclusion on the FinTech 100. VICOR is one of the elite companies to have been chosen – reinforcing its position as one of the top global providers of technology to the financial services industry.

“Some of the largest, most sophisticated and demanding financial institutions rely on VICOR for complex payment processing solutions,” said VICOR President and CEO Bob Kirk. “Being recognized by the FinTech 100 for the second consecutive year is further validation of the value and expertise VICOR brings to the complex world of enterprise payment processing. Whether it is wholesale or retail receivables processing, Check 21, government forms processing, healthcare processing, or business-to-business ePayments, our solutions help financial institutions and businesses reduce costs, gain operational efficiencies, save time and money, grow revenues and attract new customers.”

VICOR’s continued success has resulted from the execution against two major strategic initiatives, specifically: growth in the Receivables market segment through new customer acquisition, and by successfully entering new markets via new products and partnerships. VICOR showcased the first phase of new product offerings within this initiative – remote image capture and image quality and usability assurance – this past summer. Additional product and partner initiatives are planned in the coming months. Like its existing solutions, these new products will allow financial institutions and businesses to better manage payment processing in a blended world of paper and electronic transactions.

Developed by American Banker and Financial Insights, the FinTech 100 is the most comprehensive company ranking within the financial services industry. The ranking of top companies is categorized and evaluated based on fiscal year end revenues and the percentage of revenues attributed to financial services. The popularity of the ranking and the awareness it has generated has substantially increased since its introduction last year. The ranking is contained in a special report published in today’s issue of American Banker.
