Bank of America recently received several awards for its Global Transaction Services (GTS) business. The recognition highlights the bank’s leadership in digital solutions, innovation, service quality and global consistency across Asia, Europe, North America and South America. The accolades came from industry publications and research firms that conduct surveys with businesses, including the bank’s own clients.

For innovation, the analyst firm Aite Group named Intelligent Receivables as Product Development winner in its inaugural Impact Innovation Awards in Cash Management and Payments. Intelligent Receivables leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning and optical character recognition to automate the matching of payments with their associated remittance information.

In the rationale for the award, Aite analyst Christine Barry wrote, “Bank of America…is a first mover in the area of integrated receivables and remains one of only a handful of banks currently live with a truly robust offering. Intelligent Receivables addresses a key pain point felt by an important customer segment within transaction banking. It offers greater automation, accuracy, efficiency and cost savings for clients, which ultimately leads to greater customer satisfaction and retention.”

For leadership in digital, Bank of America’s CashPro digital platform ranked highly in the 2018 Greenwich Excellence Awards in the U.S. for large corporate cash management. The bank earned recognition for excellence in Digital Platform Design, Digital Product Capabilities, and Digital Platform Security Capabilities. The bank also earned a 2019 Greenwich Excellence Award for its Digital Platform Security Capabilities in Asia.
