FIS Launches Total Issuing Solutions in Southeast Asia, Powering the Region’s Next Wave of Payment Innovation

Global financial technology leader FIS® (NYSE: FIS) announced at Money20/20 Asia the expansion of its Total Issuing™ Solutions portfolio into Southeast Asia. FIS will deploy the PRIME platform, part of FIS Total Issuing™ Solutions, on AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore) region by early 2027, bringing a connected, cloud-native processing platform to issuers across several new markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

This marks the first major regional expansion since FIS completed its $13.5 billion acquisition of Global Payments’ Issuer Solutions business, formerly known as TSYS, in January 2026. FIS Total Issuing™ Solutions is a global market leader in credit processing, with a client presence in over 75 countries. The portfolio processes more than 40 billion transactions annually and maintains strong commercial partnerships with over 150 financial institutions and corporates. 

FIS Total Issuing™ Solutions empowers financial institutions with a platform for growth across their card products—credit, debit, prepaid, and commercial—and digital payments including virtual cards, digital accounts, and tokenisation for wallet payments. It also provides full-lifecycle support for merchant acquiring, all delivered through an API-centred framework that enables continuous modernisation without disruption. 

“Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing digital payments markets in the world, but for many financial institutions here, data remains trapped in silos and legacy systems weren’t built for what modern payments demand. With Total Issuing™ Solutions, FIS is unlocking the technology that helps financial institutions move money more seamlessly. The platform is proven at scale, cloud-powered, and built to give issuers a single, connected view of their customers,” said Andrew Murray, Head of Growth – International Banking and Payments, FIS.

The PRIME platform already powers more than one in three credit cards in India through its established on-premise and cloud-based processing footprint. In collaboration with AWS, FIS is now extending PRIME’s strategic cloud processing model into Southeast Asia, combining more than 50 years of enterprise processing expertise with the benefits of cloud automation and efficiency: faster upgrades and compliance updates, infrastructure that scales with demand, and access to FIS’ global investment in shared platform innovation. 

The scale of the combined FIS and Total Issuing™ Solutions portfolio also creates a distinct data advantage. FIS now processes one of the most comprehensive data sets across consumer and commercial card portfolios, enabling bank clients to develop new products and services powered by their own proprietary data and real-time insights across the entire customer relationship. This positions issuers to set a new standard for the customer experience while reducing operational costs and accelerating time-to-market.
