The bank's strong performance in 2025, including growth across its transaction banking business and continued expertise in trade finance, reflects the value clients place on these solutions.
Delivering Solutions That Matter
A key factor behind HSBC's recognition was its ability to turn innovation into practical benefits for customers.
Over the past year, HSBC has continued to invest in solutions that help businesses:
- Make domestic and international payments more efficiently.
- Improve visibility and control over cash flow.
- Access working capital more quickly.
- Manage foreign exchange exposure with greater confidence.

This commitment to delivering practical solutions was further demonstrated through HSBC’s partnership with Enshore Subsea, which was recognised as the UK’s Best Trade Finance Deal 2026, by Euromoney. Through £100m of funding, HSBC supported the company’s continued international growth and its delivery of critical infrastructure for the renewable energy sector.

The methodology considered growth in transaction banking performance alongside measurable outcomes delivered for clients.
The UK's Best Trade Finance Deal category assessed submissions from three banks against the strategic importance of the client challenge, solution design and innovation, execution and delivery, and measurable client impact. Particular emphasis was placed on execution complexity, successful integration and evidence of transformative outcomes for the client.
