The Banker’s Bank of the Year Awards continue to go from strength to strength, with hundreds of entries submitted from all corners of the world. Congratulations to all of this year's winners.

Entries for the 14th annual Global Private Banking Awards showed rising allocations to private assets and the emergence of boutique firms ready to steal market share from the global giants.

After supporting their clients throughout the unprecedented events of the Covid-19 pandemic, investment banks have once again found they need to be nimble and adapt to another set of challenging conditions.

Banks are working towards global goals with real-time and cross-border payments, as well as digital transformation, as the world recovers from a pandemic and deals with ongoing geopolitical conflict.

In addition to developing innovative products, many banks are looking within to better meet the needs of an increasingly digital society.
