Third Euromoney win for RBTT

Aug 24, 2006

RBTT has again been saluted for excellence by leading financial publication, Euromoney. As part of its 2006 Awards for Excellence, the prestigious international magazine, selected RBTT Bank Limited as the Best Bank in T&T.

This latest award is the third from Euromoney, with Euromoney’s Emerging Markets newspaper announcing RBTT as the Best Trade Finance Bank in Central America and the Caribbean in 2004. Later that year, Euromoney hailed RBTT as Best Bank in the Caribbean.

According to Euromoney, the Best Bank award used to be conferred on a regional basis, but, as of 2006, “We are now awarding the Best Bank in each of the major countries in the Caribbean.”

This marks the 15th year since Euromoney began recognising the best-performing financial institutions in significant financial markets and product sectors, defining banking excellence in global categories, across 110 individual countries.

Euromoney, which is published monthly and features issues and key market players that influence the financial industry, says of the awards, “We continue to combine qualitative data with informative and important subjective judgments to award the Best Bank. These annual awards set the standards for banking and capital market excellence amongst the top-ranking financial institutions around the world.”

The Euromoney awards are among an impressive list of awards RBTT has received, including: LatinFinance—Bank of the Year in Trinidad and Tobago, 2005; LatinFinance—Bank of the Year for the Caribbean, 2003; The Banker—Bank of the Year in Trinidad & Tobago, 2001, 2002 and 2003, and in Jamaica, 2002; and the inaugural 2002 GiltEdge Golden Award for Excellence from Jamaica’s Mona School of Business and the Financial Gleaner.
