Institutional Investor is a leading international financial publisher whose readership includes influential decision-makers in asset management and banking. For more than 30 years, the publication has recognized companies through its global rankings. The integrity and credibility of the ratings it issues have been designated as a standard for measuring excellence.
Earlier this year, World Finance, a UK-based business magazine with a global, online readership, gave Banorte Best Retail Bank in Mexico and Best Corporate Governance awards – the only bank in Mexico to win in those categories.
The outlet said Banorte continues to lead the way in the “customer-first era” of retail banking.
Separately, Banorte’s digital assistant, named Maya, which makes online banking easier for customers, won international acclaim.
Maya was cited as one of the best banking innovations worldwide in the 2021 Analytics and Artificial Intelligence category by the European Finance Management Association (EFMA) and Accenture.
