About the awards
For more than 30 years, Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence have recognised financial institutions that set the global standard in performance, innovation and client impact.
The Awards for Excellence programme is built on the new Euromoney benchmarking framework. Every category is anchored in comparable metrics, structured submissions and a transparent research process that evaluates banks, non-banking financial institutions and technology providers against their peers. This is your opportunity to demonstrate leadership through hard evidence and facts.
The programme is bigger and more competitive than ever, with several hundreds of financial institutions across more than 100 countries expected to take part.
It speaks to us being the best bank for all our stakeholders, our clients, our employees, and of course our community and the societies in which we operate

Our continuous research cycle
Co-create with the market
We work with banks to define each programme. Together we identify the metrics, capabilities and client outcomes that matter most, ensuring the research reflects real strategic priorities.
Proprietary data collection
Data is collected throughout the year. We combine institutional submissions, structured metrics and direct client feedback gathered via large-scale surveys. This creates datasets that do not exist elsewhere.
Validation and scoring
All inputs pass through a structured analytical framework. Quantitative evidence, qualitative submissions and client sentiment are validated, challenged and scored to ensure our decisions are consistent, evidence-based and analytically robust.
Research outputs
Validated datasets are delivered as performance rankings, client sentiment benchmarks and award outcomes. These provide a structured view of competitive positioning across products and markets.
Analyst engagement
Our analysts deliver findings directly to clients and provide clarity on results and methodology. Ongoing dialogue drives refinement ensuring each research cycle evolves and the underlying dataset continuously improves.
