CaixaBank, awarded 'Leading Confirming Bank 2025' by the Asian Development Bank

CaixaBank has been recognised for the first time as a 'Leading Confirming Bank' in the Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program (TSCFP) awards of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Leading Confirming Bank 2025 award recognises the confirming bank with the highest number of transactions in the last year. Specifically, between July 2024 and June 2025, CaixaBank has closed 236 operations with the ADB, which represents a 32% increase with respect to the same period of the previous year.

Additionally, CaixaBank received another recognition, the 'Food Security Special Award', a special award, shared with TBC Bank of Georgia, for its participation as Confirming Bank in a trade transaction consisting in the export of poultry equipment from Italy to Georgia.

In 2024, CaixaBank closed financing operations for more than EUR 3,3 billion within the trade Finance programs of multilateral institutions. In the Asian continent, where nearly a third of transactions were formalised with the ADB, CaixaBank reached a volume of over EUR 1,6 billion, representing a 30% increase on the previous year.

The awards were handed out at the annual TSCFP awards gala, which once again took place in Singapore and gathered around 200 representatives of the participating banks. CaixaBank has been participating in the TSCFP since 2004, in its firm commitment to boosting foreign trade in emerging countries and offering its customers the best experience in the process of financing companies.

Through the Trade Finance Programs, CaixaBank positions itself as a pioneering institution in foreign trade financing solutions while strengthening its relationship with local banks across the globe. CaixaBank maintains business relations with more than 1,600 corresponding banks to facilitate its clients’ international operations in any country of the world.
