At FIS, our ideas and technologies are transforming the future, and the world. Although our position as a global market leader allows for many exciting pathways, it also requires increased care and attention.
Wherever we do business, we stay on top of all applicable import, export, and other trade compliance laws. That way we can continue our global operations, advancing the way the world pays.
Follow the law.
We take global trade regulations seriously. If a particular import or export is not compliant with all relevant rules, regulations, and protocols, it can be delayed, confiscated, or destroyed. Trade violations can result in reputational damage, fines, and other penalties. In severe cases, the organization or individual responsible could also be heavily fined or face jail time.
Provide accurate information.
Regardless of your role, entering accurate data in our databases is important. Be especially careful to enter proper legal entity names for clients and suppliers, and accurate countries of origin and prices for parts and other items.
Follow FIS’ procedures.
Always follow our policies and procedures – they are there to protect you and the Company.

Our Core Values In Action
Q: We received a purchase order from a company based in a country that may be subject to trade sanctions. Can we accept their order?
A: It depends. Trade sanctions rules change continuously. To ensure compliance with the latest rules, we must conduct screening of the proposed transaction first. While most countries are not subject to comprehensive trade embargoes, specific individuals, businesses, and/or industries may be subject to sanctions.
