Alexander Hamilton Awards
Now in their 25th year, the Alexander Hamilton Awards from Treasury & Risk recognize companies taking big leaps forward in treasury, finance, and/or risk management through process innovations and technology implementations.
2020 was a year unlike any other, yet treasury organizations found many ways to innovate. In fact, the pressures that the Covid-19 crisis exerted on corporate liquidity, debt covenants, the supply chain, and other areas of business and financial management drove many treasury groups to explore solutions they might not have considered in a more typical business climate.
That is the story of the 2021 Alexander Hamilton Awards.
Treasury & Risk is now presenting the 2021 awards via a series of articles and webcasts. We have already presented two categories, with the third coming on May 5, 2021 and the fourth on June 2, 2021. So far, we have presented awards in:
- Bandwidth: GOLD award for — Increasing Treasury’s Bandwidth by Harnessing Accessible Tech
- Microsoft: SILVER award for — Efficient Access Management for Bank Portals Around the World
- Salesforce: BRONZE award for — A New Approach to Invoicing Forecasts
- BDP International: HONORABLE MENTION for — Cash Visibility That Supports Global Growth
- And view our 2021 Treasury Transformation Awards on-demand webcast
- HCSC: GOLD award for — When Technology Excellence Drives People and Process Improvements
- Microsoft: SILVER award for — Automation Streamlines Bank Statement Management
- CUNA Mutual: BRONZE award for — Payment System Integration via APIs

Additional Treasury & Risk webcasts and articles over the course of 2021 will celebrate innovative initiatives in five additional categories. (Note that winners in each category that has not yet been presented are listed alphabetically.
