SVB Deposits Saved, But Is It A Bailout?
The FDIC’s sudden takeover of both Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank casts a shadow, no matter what you call it.
Global Finance’s World’s Best Digital Bank Awards (formerly know as the World’s Best Internet Bank Awards) are the undisputed authority on the world’s leading digital banking service providers. Now in their 16th year, these awards have become the most prestigious honor in the industry, and winners gain a strong advantage and marketing edge over their competition.
This year, we updated the name of the awards to reflect the extent to which digitization is transforming our lives in general and banking in particular. By renaming this as the Digital Bank Awards, we are making the competition more inclusive of current technology and more future-focused in anticipation of developments still to come.
We have also added an entirely new category devoted to Islamic Finance. As Islamic Finance is increasingly enmeshed in the global financial marketplace, Islamic financial institutions are becoming more sophisticated in the products and services they offer and the channels by which they interact with their clients - including the digital channel. Digital banking is a key area of investment for Islamic Finance, which will allow firms at the forefront of development to reach an even greater audience of retail and corporate clients.
The distinction of being among Global Finance’s Best Digital Banks allows honorees to stand out within their own organizations, leading to improved staff recruiting/retention and personal recognition.
Winners will be showcased in Global Finance’s September and December 2015 issues and online at GFMag.com. And for the first time, our Digital Bank Awards Ceremony & Dinner will be held in London in early November. London is emerging as the global center of new financial-technology developments, so we think it is particularly appropriate to celebrate our honorees in the location where the future of digital banking is taking shape.
