The Smiley Story

Everything goes back to people

We’re a people-first culture that believes you should be happy in your career.

Twenty Years and Counting

Our history goes back to over 50 years ago to the founding of Systematics, Inc., the pioneer of outsourcing data processing for banks. Walter Smiley founded the company in 1968, and at its height, had over 5,000 employees before being acquired by FIS in the 1990s. Walter’s daughter, Elizabeth Glasbrenner and son, Vance Smiley, founded Smiley Technologies, Inc. in 2002 and with Elizabeth at the helm, the company has seen confident growth ever since.
