SAS has achieved a remarkable second-place finish in the highly respected Chartis RiskTech100 2025 rankings, supplemented by six solution category accolades. This achievement underscores SAS's consistent excellence in the risk technology domain, marking the second year in succession that the company has secured the second spot in this prestigious list. Chartis RiskTech100 is widely regarded as the leading annual ranking of the top 100 risk management software and solution providers globally. According to Sid Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis, SAS's high ranking is driven by its industry expertise, visionary decision-making strategy, and integrated balance sheet management capabilities. The acquisition of Kamakura Corp. in 2022 has further strengthened SAS's position as a leader in risk technology innovation.
This marks the 20th year of the RiskTech100 list, with SAS being the only vendor that consistently ranks in the top 5 since the debut of the rankings in 2005. Stu Bradley, Senior Vice President of Risk, Fraud, and Compliance Solutions at SAS, highlighted the transformative times both SAS and its customers are navigating. He emphasized the necessity for financial institutions like banks and insurers to leverage advanced analytics for competitive advantage, and SAS's commitment to advancing risk solutions to meet market challenges effectively.
SAS's robust risk management solutions, powered by its high-performance data and AI platform, SAS Viya, have been recognized in six distinct Chartis solution award categories, including Artificial Intelligence for Banking. AI is becoming non-negotiable for banks in areas such as risk and compliance, fraud prevention, and customer service. SAS has maintained its leading position in this category since its introduction last year. Additionally, SAS's balance sheet risk management capabilities have become crucial once again in light of rising interest rates and recent bank failures. Furthermore, SAS excels in behavioral modeling, which is essential for banks to anticipate customer behavior and ensure financial stability.
Enterprise risk management, exemplified by capabilities in stress testing against volatile economic conditions, is another area where SAS stands out. The company's comprehensive stress testing solutions are highly regarded for enabling banks to integrate risk and finance into a unified view. In the realm of IFRS 9 compliance, SAS's expertise in risk and finance integration helps banks tackle the computational complexities associated with these accounting rules. SAS's excellence in Model Risk Management has been consistently recognized, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding a bank's financial integrity and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Beyond the RiskTech100, SAS is recognized in various Chartis RiskTech Quadrants. The company's capabilities are extensively acknowledged in Credit Portfolio Management, Anti-Money Laundering Transaction Monitoring, and Asset Liability Management, among others. SAS leads in Analytical Accelerators, Enterprise and Payment Fraud Solutions, Pricing and Valuation Systems, and Credit Risk Management Solutions, demonstrating its comprehensive dominance across multiple risk management domains.
