Trade Finance and Supply Chain Finance Awards
Call For Entries available now.
About This Award
In February 2026, Global Finance will publish its selections for the 26th annual World’s Best Trade Finance Providers and 19th annual Supply Chain Finance Providers awards. Enter today!
Trade Finance is currently undergoing significant transformation, driven by digitalization, the efficiency gains of artificial intelligence, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders. This evolution is particularly crucial given the prevalence of fragmented systems and prevailing global complexities. However, the widespread adoption of these innovations is hindered by persistent manual processes and disparate digital systems.
Concurrently, Supply Chain Finance is experiencing considerable growth. This expansion is largely attributable to digitalization, the increasing integration of ESG-linked financing, and heightened participation from institutional investors. Furthermore, legislative advancements, such as the UK’s Electronic Trade Documents Act, are facilitating and accelerating the implementation of these innovations.

Entry Deadline: November 3
Global Finance will name the best trade finance providers in nearly 100 countries, territories and districts, eight global regions and six regions of the US. The editors will select the best bank for trade finance globally, and the best banks in various service categories, including the newly added Best Integrated Trade Finance Digital Platform, the Best Trade Finance Advisory Bank and the Best Bank for Trade Finance Automation.
The Supply Chain Finance Awards will include winners in eight global regions, as well as global winners for the world’s best supply chain finance providers (bank and non-bank), the newly added Best Deep-Tier Supply Chain Finance (DTSCF) Solution and more.
Global Finance’s industry awards, rankings and recognition programs are the trusted standard of excellence for the financial industry and are backed by a 39-year history of editorial accuracy and integrity. Global Finance’s corporate and financial audience depends on them because they are credible, reliable and have stood the test of time.
The reach and impact of Global Finance’s Awards extends far beyond its readership and the banking and financial sector. These awards are amplified locally, regionally and globally through social media efforts, traditional media coverage and the marketing and promotion campaigns of winning organizations.
Global Finance will honor winning organizations at an awards ceremony and lunch during the BAFT Europe Bank-To-Bank Forum in London in March.
