IBOS is an international bank association boasting members from all around the world. Now celebrating more than 25 years of progressive leadership, the association has established itself as an international hub for banks seeking to strengthen and expand their global service capabilities. Operating as a private company limited by guarantee and without share capital, the association is headquartered in London and unites first class financial institutions under a shared vision: to deliver consistent, locally attuned international banking experiences, underpinned by collective expertise, procedural clarity and a spirit of collaboration. IBOS has provided a platform where member banks can work together to offer clients cross-border services without compromising on local insight and personalised attention.
By facilitating practical cooperation between institutions with expertise in their respective markets, the association has transformed the way global banking networks operate — making complex procedures manageable and efficient. The finance experts actively participate in leading global forums, with a presence at SIBOS 2025 defining their role in shaping discussions on cross-border banking, operational innovation and the future of financial collaboration. By sitting across priority
markets, the association continues to build its global footprint, ensuring that membership delivers important connections and measurable business value. IBOS empowers banks, corporate treasury professionals, regulatory authorities and strategic partners to unlock growth opportunities.
The judging panel was particularly impressed by IBOS’s reputation for innovation that comprises the foundation of all their services. Central to this reputation is the specialists’ investment in digital transformation, most notably through the IBOS client portal. Designed as a secure, bespoke digital gateway, the portal enables efficient international service referrals, clear communication channels and streamlined workflow management between member banks and their corporate clients; a reflection of IBOS’s forward-thinking approach. With advanced features demonstrated through comprehensive video walkthroughs available on the IBOS website, the portal underscores the association’s commitment to harnessing technology in ways that directly benefit members and their clients.
