UniCredit won the award in Austria and Croatia, too, as well as the regional award for Central and Eastern Europe.

UniCredit Bulbank is the Best Trade Finance Bank in Bulgaria according to the annual survey of the international magazine Global Finance.

The ranking was prepared by an editorial board on the grounds of market analyses, expert evaluations, etc. The criteria include indicators such as transaction volume, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing and innovative technologies.

UniCredit won the award in Austria and Croatia, too, as well as the regional award for Central and Eastern Europe.

“I am particularly happy that we were ranked first in the survey of Global Finance for yet another year, as this is recognition of the true professionalism of the Trade Services team of UniCredit Bulbank and the quality of the services provided by it. First place comes with responsibility for us to continue supporting our partners and developing our products in this dynamically changing environment”, commented Aleksandar Kirov, Head of Global Transaction Banking Department.

At the beginning of the month Euromoney, another international independent magazine, named UniCredit Bulbank the leader in trade finance services in the country. Except in Bulgaria, Euromoney's survey recognised UniCredit as a trade finance market leader in Italy, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Turkey, too.
