Ameriabank was named Bank of the Year 2015 in Armenia at the Bank of the Year Awards ceremony held on December 2 in London by The Banker, a premier publication of Financial Times.

The Banker’s award is the highest acknowledgement of achievements in banking all over the world held for the 16th year in a row. According to the award organizers, Ameriabank won this honor of recognition for its notable achievements, including smart and innovative time-saving solutions for clients. Another important factor was close partnership of Ameriabank with a number of major financial institutions, including European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Dutch Development Bank (FMO). Earlier last year Ameriabank and FMO have signed a convertible subordinated debt agreement which marked an unparalleled transaction on the local market.

“This is a great honor for us to be recognized as the best Bank in Armenia for the third time by The Banker publication. We are glad to announce that Ameriabank has further strengthened its leading position in the local market. The cornerstone of our success has always been our client-focused service quality, competent staff, ongoing innovations and well-balanced risk management. These are the advantages that helped us build a long-term customer trust. We’d like to particularly stress the agreement on introducing BankWorld omnichannel banking platform we’ve signed with the global leader CR2 aimed at delivering totally new quality distance banking solutions starting from 2016 which will foster further development of distant banking practices in Armenia” commented Artak Hanesyan, CEO of Ameriabank.
