FIS and Ericsson Partner to Accelerate Launch of Digital Wallet Financial Services
FIS (NYSE: FIS) announced Tuesday that it is collaborating with Ericsson to develop a pre-integrated platform designed to help organizations launch wallet-led financial services faster and with less technical complexity.
The collaboration will combine FIS’s payments and card-issuing capabilities with the Ericsson Fintech Platform, bringing payments, issuing, digital wallets, identity, ledger technology and open APIs together within a unified infrastructure.
The companies are targeting one of the primary obstacles to digital wallet deployment: integrating multiple systems required to securely move, store and manage money. A pre-connected architecture could reduce implementation requirements and allow financial institutions, telecom operators and other enterprises to move more quickly from product development to commercial deployment.
Ericsson brings significant existing scale to the partnership. Its fintech platform supports more than 131 million active 90-day users across 24 countries and processes approximately $80 billion in transaction value each month.
For FIS, the partnership expands its opportunity in digital wallets and embedded financial services beyond traditional banking infrastructure. For Ericsson, it reinforces fintech as a growth business as telecommunications, digital identity and mobile payments increasingly converge.
The collaboration could also strengthen both companies’ positions in emerging markets and other regions where mobile wallets increasingly serve as a primary gateway to financial services, while giving organizations an alternative to building complex wallet infrastructure independently.
