These awards are named in honor of Gordon Platt, who was the driving force behind this program for many years.

An exclusive report on this program will be published in the January 2026 print and digital editions, as well as online at GFMag.com. The report will also include Global Finance’s annual FX Tech Awards.

Winning organizations will be honored at Global Finance’s Gordon Platt Foreign Exchange and Best SME Bank Awards Ceremony in London – Date and Location TBD. 

Global Finance considered bank submissions, input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology specialists. Criteria for choosing the Best Foreign Exchange Banks Award winners included, transaction volume, market share, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing, and innovative technologies. 

“Foreign exchange is increasingly viewed as a core strategic business for both banks and corporates. However, the sector remains in a period of elevated volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions, shifting interest rates, and pressure on safe-haven currencies,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance. “Global Finance’s Best FX Banks awards honor institutions that continue to lead and innovate in an and competitive market environment.”
