Our Awards and How to Enter

Overview

Global Finance is the publication of record for financial industry awards, rankings and recognition programs. These programs are the trusted standard of excellence for the financial industry and are backed by a 37-year history of editorial accuracy and integrity. Global Finance’s corporate and financial audience relies on them because they are credible, reliable and have stood the test of time.

The honor of being a Global Finance award recipient has a long and lasting impact. Winners gain a strong marketing advantage they use to distinguish themselves globally and to stand out from their competitors.

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.
