About IBS Intelligence

IBS Intelligence has been dedicated to the financial technology sector for over 20 years, through our publications and consulting.

Our iconic monthly publication – IBS Journal – is recognised worldwide. Each issue of the journal is augmented by an IBS Journal Supplement dedicated to specific issues/subjects pertinent to the banking technology industry.

Each month our journalists talk to industry leaders about their strategies and experiences; we drill down into the activities and plans of the suppliers; and we ensure that our readers are kept fully informed of all of the events and trends.

We cover what is really going on – the good, the bad, the lessons, the mistakes and the masterstrokes. Every word is written by our journalists, with no advertorial or marketing hype.

From an original focus on the international back office systems market, we have extended our expertise to cover wider technology issues. IBS Intelligence is a regular participant and media partner of major international and regional conferences, and our experts are regularly involved in public speaking engagements. Our website is updated regularly with news, feature articles and breaking stories.

Our extensive range of Reports is driven by our independence and expertise. Our Reports represent the industry’s definitive snapshot of what is going on in the universal, corporate/commercial, retail and private banking technology markets, as well as in the treasury & capital markets, payments, Islamic banking and other sectors across multiple geographies.
