The expert jury of the renowned magazine, comprising editors, journalists and researchers, selected the best banks in 100 countries across the globe as part of traditional annual contest “Awards for Excellence”, focusing on institutions that have demonstrated an ability to adapt to changes in market conditions and customer needs, as well as to achieve growth and outperformace compared with peers. Banca Intesa took this prestigeous award for the seventh time.
“It is a particular honor for me that Euromoney has once again recognised business achievements of Banca Intesa as a standard for excellence in the Serbian banking market. Operating in complex business conditions and a highly competitive environment, we have managed to achieve record business results, maintain the leading market position and maintain stable support for the economy, citizens and the entire community. Further improvement of our offering, consistent implementation of our ambitious digital agenda and promotion of sustainable development through systemic integration of ESG principles into business processes and products will remain key pillars of our business strategy in the period ahead so that we can be even more accessible to our customers and provide them with an innovative offering and a superior user experience”, Darko Popović, President of the Executive Board of Banca Intesa, said at the award ceremony in London.
Banca Intesa is the leading bank in the Serbian market by key performance indicators, providing its customers with modern products, the highest quality service and a unique combination of a developed business network and digital services. The bank is part of international banking group Intesa Sanpaolo, one of the leading in Europe, which ended the first quarter of the year with a net income of nearly 2 billion euros and a capital position above regulatory requirements thanks to its well-diversified and resilient business model. Confirming its commitment to digital transformation, Intesa Sanpaolo has recently launched a new digital bank – Isybank as one of the pillars of its 2022-2025 Business Plan and a step towards the goal of becoming an example of best practice in the technological sphere as well.
Euromoney magazine, founded more than five decades ago, has been awarding the most successful banks since 1992, when its „Awards for Excellence“ were established as the first of their kind in the global banking industry.
