Transaction Banking Awards 2023 Ceremony

The annual Global Finance event, coinciding with Sibos, acknowledges the world’s best in corporate financial services.

Global Finance hosted its annual Transaction Banking Awards ceremony alongside the annual Sibos conference held in Toronto this year. Ideas driving the discussion at the September event included improving transaction transparency, adopting data standards for corporates, digital asset servicing and enhancing efficiency with artificial intelligence.

The Global Finance ceremony at the University Club in Toronto provided an opportunity to celebrate in person the achievements of those winning our 2023 awards for Best Transaction Banking, Best Sub-custodians and Best Treasury & Cash Management Providers. Leaders in relevant banking divisions—transaction banking, global securities services, cash management, and more—attended with other senior executives from 47 organizations worldwide.
