About

The Global Transaction Banking Innovation Awards is a program designed to recognise outstanding players that have launched the most innovative products, best-in-class solutions, cutting-edge technologies, and digital capabilities across the transaction finance landscape. Co-judged by PWC, KPMG, EY and other instrumental subject matter experts, validation for successful participants is globally acclaimed and unrivalled.

The program demonstrates the epitome of excellence and recognizes and honours the world’s leading banks in their endeavour to serve customers better. Taking note that the industry has modernised its systems to help treasurers monitor cash positions, reduce friction in cross-border payments, and utilise application programming interfaces to simplify the on-boarding of new processes, the importance of trade itself has come to the fore as banks have helped their clients in the fight against coronavirus. Businesses have become ever more globalised and the importance of being able to pull together their cash pools has significantly increased. The pace of innovation shows no signs of slowing, as the use-cases of artificial intelligence, blockchain and machine learning are actively deployed across various transaction banking functions.

 

Why Now

In a period of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical upheaval, the global payments ecosystem is demonstrating resilience. The changes in the global landscape are creating new opportunities for incumbents and disruptors alike to win customers, develop new solutions, and claim market share.

While sustainable global transaction banking remains in its early stages, its potential for growth is estimated at 15 to 20% annually for sustainable trade finance and cash management products. Research indicates that demand for such products far exceeds supply, with only 10% of demand currently being met.

Choosing the correct provider of transaction services has therefore never been more important. being met.
