July 19, 2024 at 8:00 AM Eastern

CHARLOTTE, NC / LONDON – Highlighting the company’s ability to capture market share, deliver innovation and support clients’ expanding needs, Euromoney Magazine has named Bank of America the World’s Best Bank for Markets and the World’s Best Bank for Trade Finance. In total, the bank received 19 awards at Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence gala on July 18 in London, an annual event that recognizes outstanding leadership in financial services.

World’s Best Bank for Markets

In its rationale for naming BofA as the winner of this category for the second consecutive year, Euromoney’s editor Louise Bowman said, “Bank of America was the only one of the dozen biggest global markets businesses to increase revenues in 2023. This fitted into a broader narrative of steady but substantial improvement in the bank’s markets franchise over the past several years.”

Commenting on the award, Bank of America’s President of Global Markets Jim DeMare said, “This recognition reflects our platform’s growing influence and importance with our clients and overall performance.  Our success in 2023 was delivered without losing our laser focus on risk management and responsible growth.  We have more to do.”

World’s Best Bank for Trade Finance

Naming BofA as the winner of this category, Bowman added, “Because of the number of global corporations that sit in the U.S. and are banked by it, the firm is the natural driver of a platform such as this [Open Account Automation]. Having CashPro as an existing gateway is a huge advantage since the bank’s clients can be easily onboarded onto the financing solution.”

“As one of the very first forms of financing, trade finance continues to be the backbone of every economy around the world,” said Dean Athanasia, President of Regional Banking for Bank of America. “In supporting buyers and suppliers with easy-to-use, digital innovations, we‘re helping to transform trade finance for the benefit of all market participants.”
