At the moment, the organization’s annual income is about 75 billion because its services are used by banking institutions and various trade brands in the international market. The organization itself is more than a hundred years old since it has been operating since 1911.

Fun fact: we all come across IBM products every day without knowing it. For example, the magnetic stripe on a bank card and barcodes are inventions of this company.
