Recipients of this award have traditionally demonstrated superior transaction processing quality, resulting in higher efficiencies, faster payments, cost reductions and honoured commitments to operational excellence to their customers. Wells Fargo recognised the bank’s commitment to the highest standards of quality in meeting the stringent criteria for quickly and seamlessly processing international payments.
The international payments landscape is an essential part of banking relationships in today’s global economy.
