OREANDA-NEWS. TBC Bank has been awarded “Best Bank in Georgia 2013” by Global Finance Magazine. Criteria for choosing the winners included growth in assets, profitability, strategic relationships, customer service, competitive pricing, and innovative products.

“Each region and individual country presents unique challenges for banks and their customers, especially under the difficult conditions global financial markets continue to face,” says Joseph Giarraputo, publisher of Global Finance. “For this reason, customers must depend on excellence in execution from their banking partners. These are the banks that are providing best-in-class solutions for these distinctive markets.”

Vakhtang Butskhrikidze, the Chief Executive Officer of TBC Bank, commented, “We are tremendously proud to receive this very prestigious award and find it particularly gratifying to win it for the second year running. Receiving this world-class award reflects the Bank’s sustainably strong performance, its customer-centric approach and innovation oriented product offering.”

Besides the best bank awards, last year TBC Bank was awarded “Best Consumer Internet Bank in Georgia” by Global Finance Magazine and was the first bank in the Caucasus to win a regional award for the “Best Integrated Consumer Bank site in Central and Eastern Europe” by the same publication.
