Temenos

What Temenos does

Temenos Group AG is a Swiss-headquartered, publicly listed (SIX:TEMN) banking software company founded in 1993 that provides cloud-native, AI-infused core banking, digital banking, payments, wealth management, and financial crime mitigation platforms to more than 3,000 financial institutions across 150+ countries. Its product portfolio centers on Temenos Core Banking (950+ bank deployments), Temenos Digital Banking (600+ banks), Temenos Payments, Temenos Wealth Management, and the Temenos Financial Crime Mitigation suite, delivered via perpetual on-premise license, cloud-agnostic deployment on AWS/Azure/IBM/Google Cloud, or fully managed Temenos SaaS across 30+ regulatory jurisdictions. The platform is modular and API-first, with composable retail deposits and lending modules, an extensibility framework, a developer portal, and over 222 Exchange partners.

Temenos earns revenue through four streams: upfront software licenses (one-time), SaaS subscriptions (recurring), maintenance and support (recurring), and professional services. Pricing is quote-based on bank size, deployment model, and modules selected; SaaS recurring revenue grew 22% to CHF 684 million in FY2024 with total ARR of CHF 1.1 billion. The company sells primarily via direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a partner ecosystem of global SIs (Cognizant), cloud hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft, IBM, Red Hat), regional referral partners, and the Temenos Exchange. Customer logos span HBL (Pakistan), First Abu Dhabi Bank (UAE), Questrade (Canada), Reliance Bank UK, Interswitch (Africa), ABN AMRO, Al Rajhi Bank, and Commerce Bank, with industry recognition including 21 consecutive years as the IBS Intelligence #1 core banking vendor, Forrester Wave Leader in Digital Banking Engagement, and IDC MarketScape Leader.

The company employs 5,001-10,000 staff across 48 offices in 35 countries, with R&D centers in India and customer support operations in the Philippines. Temenos is undergoing a leadership transition: former CEO Jean-Pierre Brulard departed in September 2025, Takis Spiliopoulos transitioned from interim CEO/CFO to permanent CEO, and Daniel Schmucki (ex-SIX Group CFO) was appointed CFO effective August 2026. Recent strategic moves include the announced acquisition of Swiss wealth-tech additiv AG (June 2026), an Africa expansion partnership with Interswitch (June 2026), large customer go-lives at HBL and Questrade (May 2026), and a coordinated launch of agentic AI products (FCM AI Agent, Copilots, Conversational Studio) at the Temenos Community Forum 2026.
