Now in its 26th year, the Euromoney Awards for
Excellence covers more than 20 global product categories, best-in-class awards

demonstrated leadership, innovation, and momentum in the markets they operate.
In selecting its recipients, Euromoney combines quantitative and qualitative
data to honor institutions that have brought the highest levels of service, innovation
and expertise to their customers.

array of tailor-made digital solutions that has made banking simpler and more
accessible.
