On Wednesday 2 December, BNP Paribas Fortis was named “Bank of the Year – Belgium” by The Banker magazine at its annual awards ceremony, which took place virtually this year. The “Bank of the Year” awards are made annually by a prestigious panel of industry experts to honour the best performers in the banking sector. This is the fourth year in a row that BNP Paribas Fortis has won the award for Belgium
In 2020, Covid-19 has created enormous and unforeseen challenges for society as a whole. Given this unique situation, the judges this year placed particular emphasis on banks that have led the way in meeting client needs and maintaining resilience in the face of the pandemic.
CEO Max Jadot stated: “This award is recognition of our teams’ extremely hard work to serve our customers and support the Belgian economy during the pandemic. Covid has forced us all to switch abruptly to remote services. I’m delighted that our investments in digitising our business in recent years have enabled us to continue serving our customers with sound products and advice. Looking towards 2021 and beyond, we cannot underestimate the pivotal role we bankers will have to play, especially in these difficult times. We have a key part to play in enabling the economy to overcome the current crisis. I thank our customers for the trust they place in us, and our Positive Bankers for their dedication.
