“Global Finance is proud to announce the winners of the inaugural AI In Finance Awards. Our 38 year legacy of editorial integrity and accuracy, and 26 years of experience publishing the World’s Best Digital Bank Awards, make Global Finance uniquely qualified to present the first major awards program focusing on the role of AI in finance,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance. “AI in finance is still in its infancy, with enormous growth and unforeseen developments to come. Global Finance’s AI In Finance awards will support the development of AI in this sector and help shape its future.”
Winners were chosen from entries submitted by banks and were evaluated by a world-class panel of judges at CGI. The editors of Global Finance were responsible for the final selection of all winners.
Only banks that entered the competition were considered for awards, and awards were only given in those categories, regions, countries, territories and districts in which there were entries.
