Euromoney’s corporate banking research covers 200+ corporate banks globally and draws on insights from 45,000+ corporate and institutional clients. We analyse market positioning, revenue performance and digital integration across cash management, payments and trade finance – helping you understand your competitive standing, anticipate client priorities and make confident strategic decisions.
Addressing your challenges
Defending margins amid shifting revenue pools
Revenue pools in corporate banking are fragmenting across regions, competitors and client segments, making it difficult to see where performance is slipping or where growth is emerging. We provide independent, comparable financial performance benchmarks so you can pinpoint underperformance, defend market share and reallocate resources effectively.
Losing visibility into the sentiment shaping client decisions
Internal feedback loops rarely reveal the full picture of client experience. Our large-scale, industry-wide and global independent satisfaction data uncovers what clients actually value, enabling you to address pain points, strengthen relationships and capture greater wallet share before competitors do.
Targeting investments that accelerate competitive advantage
Rapid advances in payments, connectivity and digital channels make it hard to know whether your capabilities meet market standards or lag peers. Our capability benchmarking identifies concrete strengths, weaknesses and maturity gaps, giving you hard evidence to guide investment, modernise platforms and accelerate product differentiation.
Differentiating in a fast-expanding and highly competitive market
Every bank promotes its strategy, digital investments and client impact, but few can validate these claims credibly. Our rigorous, methodology-driven certification provides independent proof of excellence, helping you demonstrate leadership, strengthen client trust and differentiate meaningfully from competitors in crowded markets.
Benchmark your performance, compare capabilities, and act on insights that drive growth with Euromoney’s Corporate Banking research.
Market Positioning
Market Positioning
Our Market Positioning research provides a clear, comparative view of how the world’s leading banks perform across the capabilities that matter most for large corporates and SMEs. We evaluate banks’ real-world coverage models, product innovation and strategic initiatives that have measurable client impact. This analysis is brought to life through MarketMaps, visually positioning banks based on their performance across these dimensions – helping you understand how leading players structure coverage and deliver differentiated value, identify which SME solutions and operating models are truly transformative, and prioritise investments that strengthen competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.
Our Performance Rankings benchmark the top 50 global franchises in cash management and trade finance by revenue, to provide a clear, data-driven view of who is leading in corporate banking. We analyse performance, unpacking the drivers of growth or decline, and highlighting the strategic, market and macro forces reshaping revenue pools across cash management and trade finance. Use this research to benchmark your organisation against peers, explain performance drivers to internal stakeholders, refine revenue forecasts and make data-backed decisions on where to allocate capital.
The Cash Management Survey is the industry’s leading benchmark of corporate treasury priorities and provider performance. For over 30 years, Euromoney has asked corporate treasurers to rate their banking partners, setting the standard for excellence in cash management. The 2025 survey reached a record 30,000 respondents across seven regions and more than 130 countries, ranking the top banks and revealing trends in liquidity, real-time payments, and digital treasury. Alongside global and regional rankings, the survey highlights the platforms corporates depend on, including TMS, ERP, and automation solutions for receivables and payables – giving you independent verification of strengths and clear direction for digital strategy.
The Trade Finance Survey is the world’s most comprehensive trade and supply chain finance benchmark, offering authoritative insight into client needs and perceptions of their banking partners. For almost 30 years, Euromoney has delivered one of the most rigorous benchmarking exercises in this sector. The 2025 survey reached 13,000 corporate clients across seven regions and nearly 60 countries, informing close to 180 rankings of leading banks. Alongside global and regional rankings, it reveals shifting provider dynamics and trends shaping trade finance – helping you benchmark performance, prioritise product enhancements, sharpen client strategies, evaluate digital-trade investments, and anticipate future demand with clarity.
Euromoney’s new Financial Institutions Survey provides authoritative insight into the needs of banks and non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) and their perceptions of the banks they work with. It measures satisfaction with cash management and trade finance providers across product offering, technology capabilities, and client service. The survey ranks the top clearing, trade finance, and cash management providers for banks, and the top trade finance and cash management providers for NBFIs globally and regionally. Alongside these rankings, the research highlights reputation, innovation, and partnership priorities – helping you validate strengths, identify gaps, and refine strategies for client engagement and product delivery.
Our new Product Capabilities research analyses how leading banks differentiate their corporate payments offerings across domestic, cross-border and FX propositions. Using Euromoney’s proprietary scoring and qualitative insights, it shows where top performers excel, how infrastructures and market share vary, and which capabilities matter most for competitive positioning. The research gives you a clear overview of how your payments capabilities compare to peers, which gaps most impact competitiveness, and where improvements in speed, coverage, FX handling and integration are required. This enables you to identify strategic gaps, refine product roadmaps, and prioritise investments that strengthen competitiveness in an increasingly real-time, digital payments landscape.
Euromoney’s Transaction Banking Awards are the ultimate recognition of excellence in corporate banking, built on the insights and data gathered through our annual research cycle. We recognise institutions, fintechs, and technology providers that demonstrate innovation, leadership, and measurable impact across cash management, payments, trade finance, and technology.
