Euromoney Names Bank of America the Best Transaction Services Bank in Latin and North America

Euromoney magazine has named Bank of America the best bank in transaction services in Latin and North America in the publication’s 2020 Awards for Excellence. This is the latest recognition the Global Transaction Services (GTS) business has received, and follows recent awards for innovation and trade finance, as well as top rankings in Commercial Card.

Established in 1992, the Euromoney Awards for Excellence program is considered a global benchmark for the banking industry. The publication received nearly 1,000 submissions for its regional and country awards.

The awards and some of Euromoney’s rationale for naming the bank as the winner:

  • North America's best bank for Transaction Services: “Bank of America is the undisputed leader in transaction services in North America. Long before the coronavirus crisis struck its home market, the bank had entered the Euromoney awards period with strong momentum. But by the end of that period, it was being called upon to deploy all its leadership to help businesses across the U.S.”
  • Latin America's best bank for Transaction Services: The service-led approach is working: 2019 was a record year for the bank’s global transaction services (GTS) business in Latin America, with revenues growing by 19% year on year. The region was the best-performing globally for the bank – helped by 35% growth in deposits. Key markets performed well: Brazil’s volumes were up by 18%, thanks to triple-digit growth in the Brazilian boleto payment system, while Mexico’s were up 20%” – the rest of the region delivered sustainable double-digit growth.

Previously, the bank was recognized by the following publications.

  • Global Finance magazine: The Innovators 2020 program recognizes the top innovations in finance, the most innovative banks and fintechs, and the best innovation-boosting fintech labs. The bank was recognized as the:

Most Innovative Bank in North America: Like many in the industry, the pandemic has accelerated the bank’s innovation agenda. Last month, the bank expanded its mobile wallet capabilities for commercial card to EMEA and APAC, giving companies more options to maintain safety procedures like social distancing, while still being able to make payments around the world.

Best in Class: Best innovations in Cash Management – Enhanced FX Trade and Pay, and Apple Watch Token.

Best in Class: Best innovation in Trade Finance – Supplier Enablement Tool.

  • 2020 Nielsen Rankings, Visa and Mastercard Issuers: For the sixth consecutive year, Bank of America ranked as the No. 1 issuer of Visa and Mastercard Commercial Credit and Prepaid Solutions by market share in the 2020 Nilson Report for 2019. According to Nielsen, Bank of America is the largest commercial bank issuer across Purchasing Card/Virtual Payables, Corporate Card and Prepaid Card categories, with a combined annual spend volume of $66 billion, achieving more than 4% growth in 2019.
  • Global Trade Review, 2020 Leaders in Trade highlights excellence in the trade, commodity, supply chain and export finance, and fintech markets. Bank of America was named Best Trade Finance Bank in North America. “While many global banks continued to focus on large corporates, Bank of America put its focus squarely on supporting mid-sized companies, which makes it a worthy winner of this year’s award,” states Global Trade Review.
  • Global Finance magazine, The World's Best Treasury & Cash Management Banks and Providers, 2020 recognizes financial services providers that best meet the specialized needs of corporations engaged in global business. The bank won three categories:

Best Bank for Global Payments and Collections, globally;

Best Bank for Payments and Collections in North America;

Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in Treasury Management for Intelligent Receivables.
