Titan Trust Bank Limited has added to its list of laurels as the lender, at the weekend, emerged ‘Best Trade Finance Provider in Nigeria for the Year 2021’ in the recently released Global Finance Magazine World’s Best Trade Finance Providers Awards.
This is the second time in a row that the bank has clinched the coveted international award previously won by only first-tier banks in Nigeria. The Bank had won the same award in 2020, in just 15 months of its commercial operations.
According to Joseph Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance Magazine, New York, the awards were created to recognize top performers among banks and other providers of financial services in prominent areas of expertise and excellence.
“The editorial review board of Global Finance selected the best trade finance providers based on entries from banks and other providers, as well as input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology experts.
Winners were chosen in more than 102 countries across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North America and Western Europe. Criteria for choosing the winners included: transaction volume, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing and innovative technologies.
