Proprietary intelligence from the Global Transaction Banking Innovation Awards 2026
According to The Digital Banker’s proprietary awards data, transaction banking is entering a new phase of implementation. Banks are no longer approaching real-time processing, APIs, automation and AI as separate capabilities. Increasingly, these technologies are being connected to reshape how corporate banking services are delivered.

Through original analysis of these real-world initiatives, the report identifies the operational challenges attracting investment, the technologies being deployed and the measurable results institutions are reporting.
