BACB is delighted to have been awarded Best Trade Finance Bank of the Year for Middle East & North Africa 2026 at the inaugural Trade Treasury Payments awards.
The judging panel selected BACB for its sustained and demonstrable contribution to trade finance across the Middle East & North Africa, a region where international banking capacity remains constrained by political, regulatory, and risk considerations. The panel noted the bank's uninterrupted track record of underwriting trade finance across its chosen markets.
“Supporting clients in our core markets including in the Middle East and North Africa is at the heart of what we do at BACB, and we’re pleased to see our efforts recognised by a Global Advisory Panel selected by Trade Treasury Payments,” commented Chief Executive Officer Paul Jennings.
“International trade is absolutely vital to these markets, and we are very proud of the role we play in facilitating trade flows in the region. My thanks goes to all our clients for their continued trust, and to the hard work and dedication of the BACB team both here in London and on the ground in the region”.
Trade Treasury Payments editor Deepesh Patel presented BACB’s CEO, Paul Jennings and CBO, Damian Austin with the award at the Bank’s London headquarters.
