Under the crystal chandeliers of The Savoy Hotel, a room of industry leaders paused to applaud more than a trophy — they celebrated the quiet, relentless work that turns complex custody into dependable client outcomes. Last Thursday, Raiffeisen Bank International was named Best Custodian in Central & Eastern Europe at the Global Custodian Awards Dinner in London. It was not a moment of surprise, but a moment of recognition for a model that simply works: a fully integrated, end‑to‑end setup where Business, Operations and IT move as one.
This award is a story of hundreds of small decisions adding up to big reliability. It’s the morning‑after trade reconciliations, the cross‑border settlements handled without a hitch, and the technology fixes that never make the headlines but keep our clients’ ambitions on track. It’s the trust clients place in us — and the teams who deliver on that trust day after day.
Tonight’s spotlight deserves a special mention: Raiffeisen Ukraine and Bohdana Yefremova. In the face of unique challenges, Bohdana’s leadership and unwavering commitment have been pivotal in turning resilience into results. Her work and the dedication of colleagues across Ukraine exemplify how local strength fuels regional excellence. Big shoutout to Bohdana for being named the Industry Legend.
A heartfelt thank you to our clients for their continued confidence, and to Global Custodian for hosting an exceptional evening. Celebrate with us: this win belongs to everyone who quietly makes custody excellence possible.
