TBC Bank : wins multiple awards for Trade Finance

TBC Bank is pleased to announce that it has been recognized with several awards from the industry's top publications. Global Finance has named us the Best Trade Finance Provider in Georgia for 2023, while Euromoney's Trade Finance Survey 2023 recognises us as Market Leader and Best Service Provider in Georgia. The awards once again underscore our leading position in the trade finance sector and strong cooperation with international networks.

Our team members' expertise, combined with TBC's digital capabilities and longstanding collaborations with the world's largest financial institutions, will enable us to remain at the forefront of the industry in years to come."

Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance commented:
"The Trade Finance sector has seen steady growth in the past year that was spurred on by increased automation and innovation due to the pandemic. The winners of this year's Trade Finance awards lead their competition in product and service offerings."

Euromoney commented:
"The impact of the supply chain disruption that was such a notable feature of last year's trade finance survey continues to be felt as banks widen the range of services designed to improve corporate resilience."
