Embedded offers are becoming a payment strategy, not just a marketing tool.

AI could shift cardholder loyalty by choosing payment methods for consumers.

Banks and credit unions have a limited window to modernize legacy offer models.

Watch more: Need to Know | FIS | Mladen Vladic

The next contest for cardholder loyalty may depend less on rewards programs than on whether consumers receive relevant offers before they decide how to pay.

That is the larger message emerging from research conducted by FIS® and PYMNTS Intelligence, according to FIS Head of Product, Payment Networks, Mladen Vladic. The findings point to a $42 billion opportunity tied to offers that never reach consumers at the moment they can influence spending.

The problem is not simply creating offers, Vladic said. It is delivering them in ways that match how consumers now shop and pay.

Legacy delivery models remain an obstacle. Consumers move between physical stores, digital commerce and mobile channels, while many offer programs still require manual activation or delayed statement credits. These processes create friction for consumers and make it harder for merchants to measure whether promotions actually drive incremental sales.

“There are some gaps in terms of how the industry is delivering on that today,” Vladic told PYMNTS in an interview. “The way that offers are being constructed and delivered, it’s really not matching the expectations of consumers.”

The challenge extends beyond convenience. In what Vladic described as a K-shaped economy, consumers pay close attention to opportunities that lower the cost of everyday purchases.

Rather than viewing embedded offers solely as discounts, Vladic said he believes financial institutions should think of them as engagement tools that strengthen relationships among consumers, merchants and payments providers. Better offers can influence payment choice while giving merchants another way to connect marketing spending to measurable results.

AI Changes the Definition of ‘Top of Wallet’ Technology is beginning to remove many of the barriers that have limited offer redemption. Real-time matching, tokenization and better attribution can replace manual processes with automated experiences that fit naturally into the payments journey.

“The technology is simply getting better in terms of the ability to do lookups in real time, do the matching, and then the presentment on the offer,” Vladic said.

Those improvements become even more important as agentic commerce develops. Vladic said he views artificial intelligence-powered purchasing as the next major commerce channel, one where agents make payment decisions using consumer preferences and permissions rather than brand loyalty alone.

“I think of agentic as the fourth major expansion when it comes to commerce,” Vladic said, listing physical transactions, eCommerce and mobile as the other three.

The emergence of agentic commerce changes what banks and credit unions must compete on. If AI selects the payment credential that delivers the best value, institutions will need to earn that recommendation through better experiences rather than relying on established customer habits.

Vladic said he believes financial institutions begin with an advantage because consumers trust them with financial data, but he cautioned that the lead may not last.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for our industry,” Vladic said. “But I also believe that it is a limited time opportunity because the rest of the industry players are very quickly going to catch up.”

His advice is straightforward. Waiting for perfect technology carries greater risk than learning through implementation, Vladic said.

“The key is for all participants and all brands to embrace the new technology,” Vladic said. “It’s a lot about iterating the models as we learn more and gain access to better technology.”

Why better attribution could change how merchants allocate advertising budgets. How payment-linked offers differ from traditional loyalty and coupon programs. Why Vladic said he believes AI’s long-term utility matters more than today’s valuation debate. For all PYMNTS AI coverage, subscribe to the daily AI Newsletter.

Key Takeaways Fidelity National was selected by Frankfurt International Bank for its Quantum Cloud platform.FIS' cloud-first offerings help banks replace legacy systems with scalable, AI-ready infrastructure.Banking Solutions revenues climbed 45% in Q1 2026 as customer demand for digital banking grew. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) has secured another client as Frankfurt International Bank AG (“FIB”), a newly licensed German bank, selected its Treasury & Risk Manager – Quantum Cloud Edition. Instead of relying on legacy banking systems, FIB will launch with FIS' cloud-based platform, providing fully integrated treasury and risk management capabilities from day one. The implementation was completed in just 10 weeks, enabling the bank to go live quickly with a modern platform that offers greater flexibility, automation and scalability.

The deal reflects a broader shift across the banking industry as financial institutions increasingly adopt cloud-native platforms to improve efficiency, reduce costs and support AI-driven banking services. By enabling new banks to launch immediately with modern cloud infrastructure while simultaneously helping established ones upgrade their legacy systems, the company is strengthening its position across the digital banking market.

The latest agreement builds on a series of recent banking technology wins for FIS. First Commerce Bank recently selected its HORIZON core banking platform to support future growth, while BankSouth chose the company to upgrade its retail and commercial banking systems with AI-ready capabilities. These customer additions highlight the growing demand for its cloud and digital banking solutions as financial institutions continue investing in digital transformation.

The strength of FIS' Banking Solutions business was evident in its first-quarter 2026 results. The segment generated $2.4 billion in revenues, up 45% year over year. Customer wins like Frankfurt International Bank AG further validate the company's cloud-first strategy and strengthen its recurring revenue base. As more financial institutions upgrade their technology, it is well positioned to capture additional business, support long-term Banking Solutions growth and enhance shareholder value.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FIS® (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in financial services technology, today announced that First Commerce Bank, a $1.8B-asset community bank based in New Jersey, has selected FIS as its go-forward core banking platform - giving the institution a modern, AI-ready foundation as community banks of its size face mounting pressure to compete on technology with both national banks and digital-first challengers.

First Commerce Bank conducted a thorough evaluation of its long-term technology strategy, looking for a core partner with modern architecture, integration flexibility, and a genuine commitment to service. FIS HORIZON stood apart for its ability to power the full money lifecycle on a single platform, accelerate fintech connectivity through open APIs, and pair modern technology with the high-touch partnership First Commerce Bank prioritized.

Key Takeaways FIS launched Trade & Distribution Manager to automate the full secondary loan trading lifecycle.Fidelity National reported Banking Solutions revenues up 45% and lending ACV up 63% in Q1 2026.FIS integrates the new platform with existing lending tools for one commercial lending system. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) recently launched Trade & Distribution Manager, a dedicated secondary loan trading platform designed to automate the entire loan trading lifecycle. The solution enables financial institutions to manage trade capture, settlement, participant allocation and position reconciliation through a single system. It also integrates with FIS' existing lending products, allowing institutions to manage the commercial lending process on one platform.

The secondary loan market processes trillions of dollars each year. Yet, many institutions continue to rely on manual workflows and separate systems. FIS launched the platform to help simplify these operations. By automating key processes and providing real-time trade visibility, the solution is expected to help lenders improve efficiency, reduce operational complexity and expand their trading activities.

The launch supports FIS' strategy of strengthening its Banking Solutions segment through product innovation and deeper client engagement. In the first quarter of 2026, Banking Solutions revenues increased 45% year over year to $2.4 billion, supported by solid margin expansion while lending ACV rose 63%, highlighting strong demand for modern lending technology solutions.

The New Trade & Distribution Manager expands the FIS Commercial Lending Suite, which now includes six integrated solutions covering origination, credit assessment, servicing, syndication, amendments and trading. The new offering can help broaden FIS' client base and strengthen its position in the commercial lending market. As banks continue to modernize operations and automate workflows, FIS is well positioned to benefit from rising technology spending in the lending industry. The expanded lending suite also positions the company to capitalize on growing demand for integrated lending technology solutions.

Key Takeaways Fidelity National signed First Commerce Bank to deploy its HORIZON core banking platform.FIS will provide AI-ready infrastructure, connectivity and access to modern banking tools.Banking Solutions revenues rose 10.3% in Q1 2026, aided by modernization demand. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) recently announced that First Commerce Bank, a New Jersey-based community bank with approximately $1.8 billion in assets, has selected its HORIZON core banking platform to support future growth and digital transformation. The platform will provide the bank with AI-ready infrastructure, stronger connectivity and access to modern banking facilities through FIS' integrated technology ecosystem.

This deal reflects a broader shift across the banking industry. Financial institutions are increasingly moving away from legacy systems and investing in modern platforms that can support artificial intelligence, automation and digital banking services. By helping banks modernize their technology infrastructure, FIS is positioning itself to benefit from the growing demand for next-generation banking solutions. This also reinforces the scalability of FIS' core banking offerings, which already support a diverse client base spanning community, regional and large financial institutions.

Community banks represent a large and often underserved segment of the U.S. banking market. As these institutions accelerate technology upgrades to remain competitive, FIS has an opportunity to expand its client base and deepen its presence in the core banking market. The win also shows the strength of FIS' Banking Solutions business. In the first quarter of 2026, Banking Solutions revenues rose 10.3% year over year, supported by strong demand for modernization and digital transformation offerings.

The financial impact from this single contract is unlikely to be significant in the near term. However, the announcement highlights FIS' ability to win new business, broaden its reach and capitalize on the banking industry's push toward AI-driven modernization. If demand for these solutions remains strong, it could support long-term revenue growth and strengthen FIS' competitive position.

Key facts

Launch of FIS Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS delivers a cloud-native risk management platform that gives financial institutions non-stop access to the latest risk functionality without disruptive upgrade cycles. Deployment eliminates the trade-off between staying current and staying operational. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global financial technology leader FIS® today announced the launch of FIS Enterprise Risk Suite on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Upgrading risk software has always meant disruption and for firms managing risk in real-time, that’s a trade-off they can’t afford. This deployment on AWS reduces this by delivering a cloud-native risk management platform that keeps financial institutions on the latest version of the software, continuously and without operational disruption.

In today's volatile, highly regulated markets, financial institutions face mounting pressure to track a growing range of risks, but upgrading to a new software version has historically forced firms to choose between staying current and staying operational. Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS resolves that tension, and represents a fundamental shift in how clients deploy, scale and consume enterprise risk technology, by replacing the lengthy, disruptive upgrade cycles of legacy infrastructure with continuous, seamless delivery of the latest capabilities.

With Enterprise Risk Suite now available on AWS, FIS manages upgrades on behalf of its clients through a CI/CD model, meaning institutions always run the most current version of the software without needing to divert focus from risk management to infrastructure.

The platform's microservice-based, cloud-native architecture enables clients to linearly scale their risk architecture in the cloud and run higher volumes of calculations with lossless performance, and through burst computing, clients can instantly acquire additional processing power for large calculations or peak workloads, without maintaining costly on-premise hardware.

The launch builds on FIS' recognition as a Category Leader across all quadrants in the Chartis Credit Risk Management Systems report, validating the platform's strength across both market and credit risk.

Andrés Choussy, President of the Capital Markets at FIS said: “The move to a cloud-native architecture on AWS showcases our commitment to unlock financial technology across the money lifecycle, and removes the trade-off between staying current and staying operational. Our clients can now run the latest, most powerful version of Enterprise Risk Suite at all times, while scaling their risk infrastructure dynamically to meet whatever the market demands. This modern framework combined with comprehensive risk coverage enables smarter, faster and more capital-efficient risk management decisions that drive revenue growth.”

John Kain, Head of Financial Services Market Development, Amazon Web Services said: "Financial institutions need risk management infrastructure that keeps pace with market volatility without sacrificing operational continuity. By deploying Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS, FIS is delivering exactly that — a cloud-native platform that gives clients continuous access to the latest capabilities, elastic compute power for peak workloads, and the scalability to grow without the burden of legacy upgrade cycles. We're proud to support FIS in transforming how the insurance industry manages risk."

Key Takeaways FIS is seeing strong demand for digital banking, payments modernization and AI-driven automation.Banking Solutions revenues jumped 44% in Q1 2026, while EBITDA margin rose to 39.6%.FIS faces lending market weakness and rising interest costs tied to its $16.8B debt load. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) is well-poised for growth, driven by strong segment performances, digital transformation and innovations, international market presence, partnerships and solid cash flow generation abilities. Its forward P/E of 6.68X is significantly lower than the industry average of 16.32X. The company has a Value Score of A.

With a market capitalization of $22.5 billion, Fidelity National is a Jacksonville, FL-based financial technology company that provides solutions to financial institutions and businesses globally. Over the past year, shares of FIS have fallen 45.5% compared with the industry’s 23% decline.

Courtesy of solid prospects, FIS currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Where Do Estimates for FIS Stand?The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Fidelity National’s 2026 earnings is pegged at $6.28 per share, indicating a 9.2% year-over-year rise. In the past seven days, it has witnessed one upward estimate revision against none in the opposite direction. Furthermore, the consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $13.8 billion for 2026, implying a 29.3% year-over-year rise. FIS beat earnings estimates in three of the past four quarters and met once, with an average surprise of 1.9%.

FIS’ Growth DriversFIS is benefiting from rising demand for digital banking, payments modernization and AI-driven automation as financial institutions continue increasing technology investments. The company delivered strong recurring contract momentum during the quarter, with annual contract value growth accelerating across banking, capital markets, lending and digital solutions. Products such as Money Movement Hub, digital banking tools and lending platforms are gaining traction among regional and community banks, supporting a stronger long-term revenue pipeline.

FIS continues to witness solid revenue growth, thanks to the robust performances from its Banking Solutions and Capital Market Solutions segments. Adjusted revenues from Banking Solutions and Capital Market Solutions businesses increased 44% and 3% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, respectively. The company’s adjusted EBITDA margin improved 176 basis points year over year to 39.6%, primarily driven by acquisitions of Total Issuing Solutions business, a favorable business mix and cost savings initiatives.

AI is emerging as a key growth driver for FIS. Its partnership with Anthropic focuses on developing AI-powered banking agents for financial crimes investigations, leveraging FIS’ data, compliance expertise and regulatory infrastructure. The recently secured BankSouth contract further strengthens FIS’ push into AI-enabled banking modernization, with initial AI agent rollout expected in the second half of 2026.

The company is also expanding its digital asset and next-generation payments capabilities through initiatives such as Project Keystone and the Lyriq platform. These solutions are designed to help banks adopt tokenized deposits and digital currency capabilities in a secure and compliant way. Growing interest from banks in digital payments, stablecoin infrastructure and tokenized deposits is creating additional opportunities for FIS to strengthen its role in the evolving financial ecosystem.

Cost optimization initiatives and a disciplined capital allocation strategy are also helping the company strengthen free cash flow, with a long-term target of exceeding $3 billion by 2028. Its cash generation abilities enable it to continue elevating shareholder value through share buybacks and dividend payouts. In the first quarter of 2026, the company rewarded its shareholders with share buybacks worth $30 million and paid dividends of $232 million.

FIS’ Key RisksThere are some factors, however, that investors should keep a careful eye on.

FIS continues to face pressure from macroeconomic uncertainty, particularly within its Capital Markets segment. Volatility in lending markets and weaker debt issuance activity are weighing on loan syndication-related revenues, with softness expected to continue through 2026.

Fidelity National’s debt-laden balance sheet induces an increase in interest expenses, which can limit financial flexibility. As of March 31, 2026, long-term debt, excluding the current portion, amounted to $16.8 billion. Net interest expenses of $197 million increased 146.3% year over year in the first quarter of 2026. Its net debt-to-capital of 49.2% is well above the industry average of 24.3%.

There was a time when issuer processing was defined by what happened after the sale. Approve the transaction. Move the money. Reconcile the ledger. Manage the exception. It was essential plumbing invisible to the consumer, disconnected from the commercial decision, and measured almost entirely by issuers on uptime and cost efficiency.

That era is ending.

In a conversation with PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster, Jim Johnson, co-president of banking solutions at FIS, laid out a case that the issuer processing stack is undergoing a fundamental repositioning, from back office to front of house, from cost center to competitive differentiator.

The forces driving the shift are converging simultaneously, he said. Digital wallets are aggregating credentials at the point of purchase, real-time rails are compressing settlement into seconds, artificial intelligence is reshaping discovery and purchase intent, and new forms of programmable money are introducing logic into the payment itself.

The implication for banks is unquestionable, he said. Institutions that continue to treat issuing as an operational line item, something that happens downstream of the customer relationship, risk being disintermediated not by a single competitor, but by the architecture of modern commerce itself.

“The issuer and issuer processor really [have] to be much more involved on the front end of the transaction,” Johnson said.

The opportunity now sits earlier in the cycle, where offers are presented, funding sources are selected and incentives are matched to consumer behavior, he said.

From Settlement Engine to Strategic Asset The traditional issuer processing model was built for a linear world. The consumer chose a card, the merchant submitted a request, and the processor authorized, cleared and settled. The bank’s value was embedded in risk management and balance sheet funding. Processing was a throughput game.

What has changed is where the payment decision now forms. Digital wallets present multiple credentials simultaneously. AI-driven shopping agents evaluate funding options on behalf of the consumer. Merchant checkout flows route toward preferred rails. By the time a transaction reaches the traditional authorization layer, the most consequential decisions have already been made. The issuer may not have been part of any of them.

FIS’ response is a deliberate effort to push issuer capabilities upstream, Johnson said. SKU-level data, originally developed for restricted purchasing environments such as EBT, is now being applied to commercial and issuer programs to connect payment activity directly to product-level outcomes. Merchants want tighter accountability for marketing spend. Issuers want proof that incentives drive behavior. Both require intelligence that lives inside the processing layer, not bolted on after the fact.

Webster pointed to Smart Basket capabilities as an example of infrastructure designed to attach intelligence directly to credentials and checkout decisions, creating a layer where consumers, merchants and issuers each derive value at the point of sale.

The message to banks is that the processing stack is no longer downstream of strategy. It is strategy. Institutions that can’t surface relevant offers, optimize funding selection and deliver real-time incentives through their credentials will find themselves invisible at the moment that matters most.

Real-Time Rails Make Latency Fatal The FedNow® Service and other instant payment rails have done more than accelerate settlement, Johnson said. They have compressed the window in which issuer data has economic value. In a batch-processing world, overnight reconciliation was adequate. In a real-time world, insight that arrives after the money has moved is worthless.

The modernization work inside FIS began with exactly this recognition, he said. The company’s legacy monolithic platforms, built over decades, needed to be re-architected not just for cloud efficiency but for data immediacy.

“We made the decision that to be around another 50 years, we really had to modernize our monolithic platforms, get them into the cloud, but more importantly, get the data into modern storage technology that allows us to unlock that in real time,” Johnson said.

For banks, this is more than a technology migration story. It is a question of whether the institution can act on what it knows before someone else does. Real-time rails reward real-time intelligence. An issuer that can detect a shift in repayment behavior, flag a life event or match a loyalty incentive to an in-session purchase has a fundamentally different competitive position than one still working from yesterday’s batch file.

AI is the accelerator of this shift, not the origin.

“To use and make AI valuable, data is the fuel,” Johnson said.

The takeaway for issuers is that AI investments are only as valuable as the data infrastructure feeding them. Modernized processing is the prerequisite, not the afterthought.

Programmable Money Widens the Gap The pressure on legacy issuer infrastructure intensifies further as new forms of money emerge. Stablecoins, tokenized deposits and smart credentials introduce capabilities that traditional payment instruments were never designed to carry, including conditional logic, automated execution and cross-system coordination.

Stablecoins have drawn attention for settlement speed and portability. Tokenized deposits offer a different value proposition by keeping funds inside regulated banking frameworks while enabling programmability. Both represent an expansion of what payment infrastructure can do, and both raise the stakes for issuers whose systems cannot support them, Johnson said.

New rails will not uniformly displace existing ones. Different transactions will continue to prioritize different outcomes, such as immediacy in some cases, and economics or exception handling in others. The complexity for issuers is that they must support multiple rails simultaneously while helping their institutions understand where each creates value, he said.

For banks, the strategic question is whether their processing partner can navigate that multiplicity or whether they are locked into a single-rail architecture that leaves them unable to participate in new flows. The issuer processor, in this framing, becomes the bridge between the bank’s balance sheet and the expanding universe of payment endpoints.

The Disintermediation Risk Is Architectural Consumer behavior is already moving in this direction, Webster said. Consumers are showing up at the doorsteps of AI-driven discovery models, even if they remain hesitant to delegate the full transaction. When they arrive, the credential they present needs to carry memory, rewards and intelligence, not simply serve as a funding instrument.

The observation sharpens the disintermediation risk. Banks aren’t losing transactions to a single FinTech or tech platform. They’re losing relevance because the architecture of payment selection is moving to a layer where their credentials have no voice. If the wallet presents the options, the AI agent evaluates them, and the merchant’s checkout optimizes the outcome. The issuer that hasn’t embedded intelligence into its credential is simply not in the conversation.

Johnson connected this directly to FIS’ broader data strategy and to the expanded visibility created through the TSYS integration. Adding credit activity to the company’s dataset strengthened its ability to understand how consumers manage obligations alongside deposits, lending and payment behavior.

“What you get when you add the credit activity is you get a great insight on how a consumer manages obligations,” Johnson said.

That broader perspective allows issuers to move beyond risk models weighted toward negative outcomes and instead build more complete, forward-looking views of customer financial health, he said.

Processing Is the Strategy Issuer processing has outgrown its back-office identity. For banks evaluating their payments roadmap, the question is no longer whether processing infrastructure is modern enough to handle volume. It is whether that infrastructure is positioned to influence the decisions that determine where volume goes.

Being part of the flow, not routed around it, requires issuers to treat their processing stack as the connective tissue between data, decisioning, credentials and commerce. Banks that recognize issuing as a front-of-house strategic function will shape the next generation of payment experiences. Those that do not will settle other people’s transactions.

“Our job is to make sure transactions go through our clients, not around them,” Johnson said.

For issuers, that statement is both the opportunity and the warning.

Key Takeaways The FIS and Fuse partnership aims to replace slow, manual loan origination processes.Faster approvals and automation could boost funded loans and reduce costs.The partnership will likely strengthen FIS' recurring revenue and client retention. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) recently formed a strategic partnership with Fuse, a cloud-native loan origination platform, to build a modern end-to-end origination solution for indirect auto and equipment lenders across the United States and Canada.

The core problem they're solving is: lenders often get stuck on legacy systems, patching broken integrations, doing manual underwriting and losing deals because they simply couldn't move fast enough. Under the alliance, Fuse's platform integrates with FIS Asset Finance and FIS AutoSuite, while open API tools simplify connections to dealer systems and third-party data providers. Lenders can now change pricing and policies on their own, no hard-coding required.

Slower speed kills deals in lending. Many lenders face growing pressure to improve decision speed and dealer experience as competition across the lending market intensifies. This alliance gives them a credible path to modernization without ripping out everything they already have.

Financial ImplicationsThe math is straightforward. Faster decisions mean more funded loans. Fewer manual steps mean lower operational costs. Built-in automation is designed to reduce manual underwriting activity, improve efficiency, and deliver quicker lending decisions. Stronger dealer relationships follow naturally when approvals stop stalling.

A stronger origination offering can make FIS more competitive when lenders evaluate technology vendors, helping the company attract new customers and deepen existing relationships. The partnership can also create opportunities to sell additional products across the lending workflow, increasing the value of each client relationship. Over time, broader adoption could support recurring software revenue, improve customer retention and strengthen FIS' standing in the market.

FIS’ Price PerformanceShares of Fidelity National have declined 39.6% year to date, underperforming the 17.5% fall of the industry.
