This is the third occasion that Commercial Bank has been honoured with the Trade Finance Award since the introduction of an award for this category in 2009. “An independently polled third-party assessment of this nature is particularly encouraging, and a fitting reward for all the hard work put in by our team,” said Jegan Durairatnam, Chief Operating Officer of the Commercial Bank. “While affirming the Bank’s pre-eminent position as a service provider to businesses in import and export, the award recognises that our dedication to this customer segment has been further strengthened.”
