The ranking, made available by the company Mergermarket, the reference database for the M&A market, recognises service quality, reputation and the capacity to take advantage of all market opportunities, including large ones, without overlooking SMEs, as demonstrated by the average size of the transactions.

In the Services – Innovation of Banking Services category, the Jury declared the Clarity project the winner “for having initiated a comprehensive overhaul of HR processes, in which technological innovation is used as an enabling factor for change within the broader idea of Banco BPM’s People Strategy”.
