UniCredit has been recognised as the Best Bank in Trade Finance for Corporates in Germany, according to data from Crisil Coalition Greenwich, a leading provider of strategic benchmarking, analytics and insights to the financial services industry, owned by S&P Global. The report also showed UniCredit as joint second Share Leader for corporate trade finance in Europe (with 27% of businesses citing the bank as an important trade finance provider), ranking #1 for Germany (with 70%) and #2 in Italy (80%).
These figures underline the bank’s strong performance in trade finance over recent years, consolidating its leading market penetration across core markets and demonstrating progress from a strong base in terms of qualitative metrics.
The data is based on a sample of 522 interviews conducted by Crisil Coalition Greenwich between March and September 2025, surveying companies with annual revenues of €500+ million located in Austria, Belgium & Luxembourg, France, Germany, Iberia, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Interview topics included product demand, coverage quality, and trade finance expertise.
“As challenging market conditions weigh on trade finance and European industries, it’s fantastic to see the trust that our clients continue to place in us to support them. At UniCredit, everything we do has the client at the centre, and results like this demonstrate that this is a winning mentality. Our results in Germany are particularly pleasing – demonstrating our ability to lead the way in this important and highly competitive market,” says Francesca Nenci, Head of Group Trade & Correspondent Banking, UniCredit
“We are proud to once again post impressive numbers for market penetration in Germany and, in particular, to see growing appreciation for the quality of the services we provide, leveraging on our strengths as a Group,” says Marco Iannaccone, Head of Client Solutions, Hypovereinsbank, UniCredit. “That we are able to lead in both categories, even in a market where pricing is more important than ever for our clients, is testament to the dedication of our team and the underlying quality of our best-in-class products.”
