Other new global categories for 2021 include Best Multilateral Finance Institution, Best Bank For Client-Facing Technology and Best Bank For New Financial Products. Global Finance’s awards and recognition programs are the trusted standard of excellence for the financial industry. They are backed by a 34-year history of editorial accuracy and integrity. Global Finance’s corporate and financial audience relies on these awards because they are credible, reliable and real.
Winners will be published in the April 2021 print and digital editions and posted on GFMag.com.

If global conditions allow, Global Finance will do so once again, and winners will be notified about the date and location as far in advance as possible.
