Alexander Hamilton Awards

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:

Treasury Transformation

• 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

Additional Treasury & Risk webcasts and articles over the course of 2021 will celebrate innovative initiatives in five additional categories.
