The Digital Corporate Banking Rank 2024 highlights significant shifts and ongoing trends in the digitalization of corporate banking across Eastern Europe. Over the past two years, while there has been minimal change in areas such as "Domestic settlements" and "System management," other sectors have seen notable declines. For instance, the "Foreign currency and trade finance," "Employee management," and "Fundraising" blocks have experienced reduced market focus, leading to slower advancements in these areas.
On the other hand, there has been remarkable progress in "Funds placement," "Group financial management," and "Corporate cards," showcasing a shift towards enhancing these critical services. Additionally, new categories like "Integration solutions," "Contract support," and "Mobile versions" have emerged, reflecting the market’s commitment to addressing the sophisticated needs of large enterprises.
Leading financial institutions are setting new standards in corporate digital services through best practices highlighted in the report. For example, the leaders in electronic document management (EDM) offer advanced features such as detailed history tracking, document preview, and streamlined communication options, ensuring efficiency and transparency. In contract compliance monitoring, top banks provide robust systems that not only enhance transparency but also reduce operational burdens, showcasing the importance of integrating these capabilities into digital platforms.
In the 2024 rankings, the leading financial institutions demonstrate a commitment to innovation and excellence in digital services. The top-ranked banks have distinguished themselves by excelling in specific product blocks, such as "Group financial management" and "System management," where they have set new benchmarks for the industry. These institutions are not just keeping pace with market changes; they are actively shaping the future of corporate banking by integrating cutting-edge solutions and addressing emerging needs.
The research underscores the ongoing digital transformation in corporate banking, with a notable increase in product digitalization and the rising importance of multi-banking integration. ERP system integration is now essential, reflecting the need for seamless operations. Additionally, as top managers demand more flexibility, digital services are increasingly shifting towards mobile platforms. The study also highlights the untapped potential of developing practical products based on digital currencies, indicating a future direction for innovation.

The methodology of the Digital Corporate Banking Rank 2024 is built on a robust and proprietary evaluation framework designed to deliver an in-depth analysis of digital corporate banking services. This framework is rooted in both quantitative and qualitative research methods, ensuring a holistic understanding of the digital experiences provided by financial institutions. The evaluation covers 835 criteria across nine key banking services, offering a granular view of how each service meets the needs of large enterprises.
In 2024, the evaluation system was further refined to address the evolving needs of large enterprises. This year’s methodology introduced new blocks, such as "Integration solutions" and "Contract support," and expanded the analysis of "Employee management" into two distinct subcategories: "Access management" and "Payroll projects." Additionally, a focused assessment on "Mobile versions" was included, highlighting the importance of both native and adaptive mobile applications for top management. These enhancements ensure that the evaluation is closely aligned with the complex operational requirements of large enterprises, providing actionable insights that reflect the real-world demands of these businesses.
The research process involved multiple stages of data collection and analysis. The first stage included selecting participating banks that were willing to provide in-depth access to their digital platforms. These institutions were chosen based on their relevance to the study's criteria, including having a significant annual turnover and a substantial number of employees.
Next, the research team conducted a series of interviews with product teams and end-users within the participating banks. These interviews provided qualitative insights that were crucial in understanding the user experience and the specific needs of large enterprises. The findings from these interviews were then integrated into the evaluation framework, ensuring that the criteria used for assessment were both relevant and reflective of current market conditions.
To ensure accuracy and relevance, the research was guided by industry experts who contributed their insights into the evaluation process. The final assessment was based on a combination of expert reviews, user feedback, and a thorough analysis of the digital platforms. The results were then compiled into a comprehensive benchmark, which not only highlights best practices but also identifies emerging trends and areas for improvement.
This rigorous methodology ensures that the Digital Corporate Banking Rank 2024 is a reliable and authoritative resource for understanding the current state of digital corporate banking services and for guiding future developments in this critical sector.
