DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is FIS Halal?

Financial technology with bank exposure and a 48.42% debt/assets screen.

What You Should Know

FIS's March 31, 2026 filing shows debt/assets 48.42%, liquidity/assets 1.74% and receivables plus cash/assets 7.21%. Financial technology and payment services can be permissible, but its banking software supports conventional lending workflows; gross interest income and activity revenue are not separately disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt screen fails at 48.42% of assets
  • Banking technology can support riba-based lending
  • Gross interest income and activity revenue not quantified

Not calculated

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

FIS provides financial technology, payments and banking software. These services support permissible payments but also serve conventional banks and lending workflows, creating a material mixed-use qualitative question.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for conventional-bank technology, lending-adjacent services or customer end uses.

Purification

Gross interest income and a scholar-approved prohibited-revenue numerator are not separately disclosed; no purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt combines $4,164 million of short-term borrowings, $101 million of current long-term debt and $16,791 million of long-term debt.
  • Cash uses $755 million of cash and cash equivalents. Settlement assets and settlement receivables are operational pass-through balances and are excluded from unrestricted interest-bearing securities.
  • Accounts receivable combines $2,269 million of trade receivables and $113 million of other receivables; quarterly revenue is $3,295 million.
  • The filing reports interest expense, net, but does not separately disclose gross interest income usable as a standalone screen input.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
