The award was based on a poll of readers of the magazine. It was the first time that GTR, the world’s leading trade finance journal, had extended its awards scheme to the Middle East.
It was the second trade finance award for SABB this year. A month ago, the bank was judged the Best Trade Finance Provider in Saudi Arabia for the second year in a row by the highly influential publication, Global Finance.
“These awards confirm the reputation of SABB as the leading financial institution in this field. It is especially pleasing that the GTR award resulted from a poll of readers of the magazine, many of whom are trade finance professionals,” said Al-Nasser.
He congratulated the staff of the bank’s trade finance unit for the achievement. “These awards demonstrate that they deliver consistently high levels of expertise, advice and service to their clients. And there is nothing quite so satisfying as having the people we actually deal with day-to-day — our customers — rate us the best in the land,” Al-Nasser said.
