The IFM Awards recognise and honour outstanding performance, best-in-class services and excellence in the financial services industry.
FNB CEO, Steven Bogatsu sees the prestigious award as the outcome of the bank’s commitment to giving their customers innovative solutions that suit their needs at every stage of their growth. “We are proud that we have been given this award. It is a testament to our response to the challenges in the market, where we have been able to deliver strategic banking solutions to our customers. Our customers are more discerning, and more demanding in their expectations of us. The imperative has been for us to become more aligned and to streamline our offering in response. I’d like to thank our customers for their patronage and FNBers for their continued focus on keeping FNB the client’s most preferred financial partner,” Bogatsu said.
The Best Commercial Bank Award shines a spotlight on those who make a contribution to raising the bar in the financial industry through activities of note. These include path-breaking initiatives in corporate social responsibility or charitable activities, excellent corporate governance and other achievements that impact the global finance community.
Apart from recognising the key performers in the industry, the IFM Award makes a concerted effort to shine the spotlight on organisations in niche segments and those that exhibit brilliance in the unsung corners of the finance industry.
“We are delighted to add this award to a bucket of awards that the Bank has received over the years including Global Finance’s Best FX Providers, Best Trade Finance Bank in Botswana by Global Trade Review (GTR), most Innovative Commercial Bank Botswana by the Global Banking and Finance Review, most Innovative Bank of the Year by the BAI-Finacle Global Banking Innovations competition, best Commercial Bank in Botswana by the World Finance Banking Awards and best Bank in Botswana by the Euromoney Awards for Excellence,” added Bogatsu.
FNBB says the success is attributable to the bank’s strategy of always putting customers first coupled with the ability to harness technology for banking efficiency that add significant value to customers.
The International Finance Magazine awards ceremony took place in Dubai on January 26, 2017. This event is attended by the finance fraternity, CEOs and members of various boards across the world.
