Banco Ficohsa Recognized as “Best Bank of the Year in Honduras” at Washington DC Ceremony
The ceremony, sponsored by Global Finance magazine, was held at the U.S. capital’s National Press Club on October 15 to coincide with the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings. Banco Ficohsa, which received notification of the award back in May, was recognized for its investments in financial services and online banking, its 11% increase in assets in the last year, and for having the largest market share in Honduras.
Abel Garcia, General Manager of Banco Ficohsa, said, “This award is recognition for the thousands of hard-working Banco Ficohsa employees whose skills and dedication support businesses throughout Honduras and Central America. I am proud that by providing access to innovative financial solutions – both online and in person – Banco Ficohsa is helping so many businesses across the region to expand, create sustainable jobs, and generate wealth and tax returns.”
Winners of the World’s Best Bank Awards 2022 were selected based on performance over the past year and were chosen by Global Finance’s editorial board with input from corporate financial executives, analysts and bankers throughout the world, in addition to independent research.
Mr. Garcia continued, “This accolade follows Ficohsa’s success in 2021 when we received numerous international recognitions, including Bank of the Year for Financial Inclusion awarded by The Banker, and were honored at the Championing the Female Economy Awards 2021.”
