Award winners this year included:
● Umpqua Bank — Best Branch Experience
Judges commented that ” … Umpqua’s most compelling attribute is its benchmarking against hospitality, not competitive retail banks,” and “The less bank-like an FI can seem, the better.”

One judge said that “Garanti offers a multifunction ATM service, giving customers the convenience of taking care of a variety of financial service needs in a single stop.”
● FNB BankCity (South Africa) — Best Mobile Experience (bank)
“An impressive mobile capability built from dedicated effort over many years,” one judge observed. Another said that “The FNB mobile experience incorporates offers a large and varied array of features that go well beyond the usual banking app fare.”
● Clover Mobile — Best Mobile Experience (fintech)
Judges commented on Clover’s “impressive list of benefits,” and said that “in many ways [Clover] has become somewhat of a standard when it comes to what a complete mPOS system should offer.”
