Each year, the editorial board of Global Finance selects the best financial service providers in a variety of categories to recognize the world’s best FX banks and technology providers for their achievements, including transaction volumes, scope of coverage, service and innovation.

For the year 2023, Scotiabank earned the ranking of Canada’s top FX provider due to its leading role providing best-in-class FX services for institutional, corporate, mid-market, small business and retail clients, with market-leading sales, trading, strategy and structuring capabilities.
