By GlobalDataThe PBI Awards are based on a rigorous selection process which starts with nominations from industry professionals, including the readership of PBI. Nominees are then shortlisted and submitted to a panel of judges who decide the finalists in each award category and the overall winner, as well as a highly commended bank.
Meghna Mukerjee, Editor, Private Banker International commented: "The quality and sophistication of the awards nominations this year have been of the highest standards."
"These are challenging and changing times for the private banking industry: from squeezed margins to shifting customer behaviour to demanding regulatory requirements. These awards recognise those institutions that are best adjusting to the "new normal" at this pivotal time in its evolution. Innovation, flexibility and reliability are the watchwords for best-in-class wealth businesses."
