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.
Global Finance names the best banks and other financial service providers across multiple, crucial industry sectors and categories. This list includes:
In most cases, entries are not required to be chosen as a winner but they do increase the chance of success because entrants are able to present information and perspectives that are not readily available to the editors of Global Finance. Banks and financial services companies are strongly urged to submit entries for the appropriate awards and participate in the review process.
