“After a year like no other, banking is accelerating its evolution to meet new and heightened expectations. It is without doubt that a recovery in the market to pre-pandemic levels will take time, but some banks are in a better position than others to meet the challenges ahead.

All of the winners have demonstrated years of best practice, and are in an ideal situation to meet the coming challenges head on. Congratulations to the winners.”
