The survey is designed to give our readers valuable information with regard to the trade finance market and give them the opportunity to rank trade finance providers across a selection of service categories and an overall, global ranking of providers as rated by their clients.
The survey is split into three parts: the trade finance provider nominations; the market share splits; and the service category ratings.
Part 1:
Clients nominate their top-three trade finance providers globally, by region and domestically. Providers receive four points for a 1st place nomination, three points for 2nd place and two points for 3rd. These scores are then totalled to produce a ranking.
Part 2:
The average percentage of business each client trades with each provider – globally and by region. Each client gives a percentage of business they trade with each of their providers and this is averaged globally/by each region. This will enable us to produce market share rankings by geography.
Part 3:
For the individual service categories, the score is the arithmetic mean of the ratings for that category.
