Alexander Hamilton Awards

The first half of 2020 has been a year unlike any other, yet treasury organizations continue to find ways to innovate. In fact, the pressures that the Covid-19 crisis is exerting on corporate liquidity, debt covenants, the supply chain, and other areas of business and financial management are driving 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 will present details about each winning project through a series of articles and webcasts throughout 2021. For now, though, we are pleased to announce the winners in each of our seven award categories. Note that winners in each category are listed alphabetically. Treasury & Risk will announce the “color” of award that each organization has won when presenting the awards in that category.
