) has named the Best Trade Finance Banks by region and country in an exclusive survey to be published in the February 2013 issue.

Global Finance

editors with input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology experts selected the best trade finance banks in 83 countries or regions. In addition, for the first time, a poll of

Global Finance

s corporate readership was conducted in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of the results. Criteria for choosing the winners included: transaction volume, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing and innovative technologies.

The Best Trade Finance Bank globally will be announced in the October 2013 issue.

Now more than ever, the availability of trade finance at reasonable prices is crucial to the health of the global economy, says Joseph D. Giarraputo. We have selected the banks that are best serving the needs of corporations worldwide as they engage in cross-border trade.

An Awards Ceremony for all winners will be conducted at the same time as the September 2013 SIBOS conference in Dubai. More details to follow.
