Who is eligible for the Awards?
All banks and non-bank financial institutions with market operations in the Middle East and Africa are eligible to make a submission.
Please note for the Technology Innovation Awards, financial institutions, non-traditional financial services companies, and their technology partners need to jointly apply for the Financial Technology Innovation Award. All financial institutions and non-bank financial institutions (including insurance companies, brokerages, credit companies, finance companies, and alternative financial services players), along with their partner technology and fintech companies with operations in the local market, which have completed technology implementations up to 31 July 2024, are eligible for submissions. Submissions from technology companies alone cannot be entertained in this category.
For AI Technology Implementation Awards and Risk Technology Implementation Awards financial institutions can submit on a stand-alone basis without their technology partners. Fintech and technology companies, marketplace lenders, and alternative players cannot apply for this category.
Can I make more than one submission?
TAB Middle East and Africa welcomes submissions for all categories that you qualify for. Please submit separate replies to questionnaires for each of the award categories applied for.
Will institutions that do not make a submission be considered?
TAB Middle East and Africa may decide, at its own discretion and on a strictly case-by-case basis, to consider institutions that do not make a submission. However, institutions that do not make a submission may have a ranking that is not up to their expectations due to unavoidable difficulties in gathering comprehensive and accurate information.
Is the information submitted made available to the public?
All information submitted is treated with the strictest confidence and used for evaluation purposes only. TAB Middle East and Africa publishes generic reports that discuss trends and emerging best practices demonstrated through the programme. Where we deem specific submissions as being suitable for publication, we will first seek your permission before publication.
Where should I send the submission to?
Your application can be submitted in softcopy to excellence@tab.global.For more information on the TAB Middle East and Africa Awards 2024, please visit the: website or contact Mr. Christian Kapfer at ckapfer@tab.global
