Celebrating Excellence and Impact:
The Extraordinary Bank of the Year™ Award Presentation

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience that marries prestige with purpose: the unveiling of The Extraordinary Bank of the Year Award, and the Banky™ Awards, which takes center stage during the inaugural evening of our conference. This is more than just an award: It’s a declaration of excellence, much like a Grammy or a Tony, that empowers banks to differentiate themselves in a competitive marketplace, attract new customers, and command premium prices.

The top three finalists for The Extraordinary Bank of the Year Award will share their exceptional, revenue-amplifying strategies, providing you with an incredible reservoir of ideas that could propel your bank to new heights.

Every year, The Institute undertakes a comprehensive evaluation to identify the best banks in America. This process has led to hundreds of banks being distinguished with the Banky Award, but only one can be named the Best Bank in America. The prestigious winner not only basks in this recognition but is also rewarded with… a brand new car!

And the honors don’t stop there. The Institute will generously provide $25,000 in the winning bank’s name to The Unstoppable Foundation. This contribution will go toward building a school in Africa, allowing the victorious bank to make a profound impact beyond banking by empowering education and transforming lives.

Absolutely. Many of the bankers in the room are masters of low-cost deposit gathering. They have risen far above their peers and have exacting systems that they are happy to share. You don’t want to miss this.
