Criteria for choosing the Best Foreign Exchange Banks Award winners included, transaction volume, market share, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing, and innovative technologies.
“Foreign exchange is increasingly viewed as a core strategic business for both banks and corporates. However, the sector remains in a period of elevated volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions, shifting interest rates, and pressure on safe-haven currencies,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance. “Global Finance’s Best FX Banks awards honor institutions that continue to lead and innovate in an and competitive market environment.”
