NEW YORK, November 21, 2011 – 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 2012 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 97 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.

 

“The foreign exchange market, the world’s largest, trades $4 trillion on an average day, and much more than that when news breaks. Not only is the market getting bigger, but it is also getting faster. Corporations need a good FX bank to guide them through the growing risks and rewards in evolving global markets,” says Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and president of Global Finance.
