Banca Intesa, a member of international banking group Intesa Sanpaolo, has won three Euromoney awards in 2024. Along with the Best Bank in Serbia award, which it took for the eighth time, Banca Intesa also scooped Best Bank for Corporates and Best Bank for ESG awards this year.
As part of the traditional annual Excellence Awards, an expert jury comprising editors, journalists and researchers selected the most successful banks in more than 100 countries across the globe based on a range of parameters including financial performance, business development and transformation, products and services, data solutions and technology, as well as ESG standards.
Winners in the best bank country awards were those banks that have shown strong financial performance, an ability to adapt to changing market and regulatory conditions, innovativeness and a strong commitment to clients and shareholders.
“Winning as many as three Euromoney awards in one year is not only a confirmation of the successful realization of our strategic business priorities, but also of the strong impact we have on the economy, citizens and the community as a whole. Despite intense market consolidation and a complex economic environment, we managed to achieve the best business results in the history of Banca Intesa and maintain the leadership position based on organic growth that implies an innovative offer, dynamic digitization and a developed ESG agenda. I am honoured that Euromoney recognized not only this success, but also our efforts to integrate sustainability factors into all business decisions and business segments, as well as to provide our corporate clients with relevant assistance through strong financial support, advanced digital solutions, but also incentives for achieving ESG goals”, said Darko Popović, President of the Executive Board of Banca Intesa.
Along with the Best Bank in Serbia award, Intesa Sanpaolo also took Euromoney recognitions for the Best Bank in Croatia and the Best Bank for Corporates in Slovakia in 2024, while its IMI-CIB Division was named Italy’s Best Investment Bank and Italy’s Best Bank for Corporates.
Established in 1969, Euromoney is one of the most renowned international financial magazines. The annual Excellence Awards, which the magazine has been granting to the most successful banks across the world for over 30 years, are considered as the most prestigious recognitions of the kind in the global banking market.
