WORLD’S BEST FOREIGN EXCHANGE PROVIDERS 2011



NEW YORK, November 22, 2010

Global Finance magazine has named the “Best Foreign Exchange Banks and Providers” by country, region and category in an exclusive survey to be published in the January 2011 issue. Deutsche Bank was named as the global winner. Global Finance editors with input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology experts also selected the best currency trading providers in 86 countries or regions. The best online foreign exchange systems were also identified. Criteria for choosing the traditional and online winners included transaction volume, market share, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing and innovative technologies.

“Sovereign debt problems in Europe, China’s monetary tightening and the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing are causing volatility in the foreign exchange markets. Corporations around the world need to select a strong, knowledgeable FX bank to help them cope with the turbulence in the markets,” says Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and president of Global Finance.
