Speaking on the survey that gave birth to the awardees, the Editor-in-Chief of Africa Brands Magazine, Desmond Esorougwe said, “The survey yielded over 5,000 banking and financial services brands covering over 100 best banking brands with the final coded data.”
He said, “Our team calculated a score for each banking brand and created an index that takes into account the sample and population size of each country covered.

“ The Best Banking Brands were further analyzed to ensure there are no duplication and no generic category rather than trading Bank mentioned,” Esorougwe stated.
Esorougwe further stated that the winners would have made outstanding contributions to the development of banking and financial services brands of the continent, the economic aspiration of its citizenry and the transformation of Africa’s image in the International market while displaying high standards of good citizenship, social and environmental responsibilities.
The award will bring together prominent banking and finance personalities, government officials, regulators and other stakeholders.
