The awards are organised by International Investment, a publication of Incisive Media, with entries and finalists judged by a panel of highly respected industry figures in a range of categories.

In addition to the Excellence in Private Banking Award, Standard Bank was highly commended for Excellence in Sustainability at the virtual immersive gala event – considered by some to be the ‘Oscars’ of the international financial services industry.

Will Thorp, CEO of International Client Solutions at Standard Bank, said: “Winning this accolade is a true testament to the expertise, continued hard work and commitment shown by our people who provide Standard Bank’s customers with the best possible experience… I am extremely proud for the team to be recognised and rewarded in this way and would like to offer my congratulations to all who have contributed to a super achievement.”
