Judging Process
The awards nominations will be judged by a panel of industry experts in collaboration with the MEA Finance editorial team.

- The judging panel includes former banking and finance leaders and senior executives from professional services firms working with the banking industry. They will review the shortlist and the submitted materials for each category and place a score from 1 to 5 for each category nominee. All scores will be sent back to the editorial team.
