Faysal Bank Limited (FBL) has been honored with the prestigious “Momentum Award – Issuing Bank” at the 11th Annual Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program (TSCFP) Awards 2025, organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The award ceremony took place in Singapore alongside the Global Trade Review’s Asia Conference, one of the most influential forums dedicated to international trade and finance.
The recognition underscores FBL’s growing role in advancing trade finance across the Asia-Pacific region and highlights the bank’s commitment to fostering innovation, customer-centric strategies, and sustainable financial practices. The TSCFP Awards are regarded as an international benchmark of excellence, celebrating institutions that demonstrate outstanding performance in expanding access to trade finance, supporting global supply chains, and driving inclusive growth.
In receiving the Momentum Award, FBL has been acknowledged for significantly scaling its trade finance operations, introducing tailored financial solutions, and strengthening its regional and international partnerships. The accolade reflects the bank’s ability to not only meet but also anticipate the evolving needs of businesses that rely on trade finance to expand their global reach.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Yousaf Hussain, President and CEO of Faysal Bank Limited, emphasized the strategic importance of trade finance for economic growth. “This recognition is a milestone that reflects the trust and confidence of our valued customers and partners. Trade finance plays a vital role in enabling growth, resilience, and inclusion. At Faysal Bank, we remain committed to empowering businesses with innovative solutions and strengthening Pakistan’s role in global trade. This award further reinforces our momentum to create lasting impact across the region,” he said.
The award also highlights the progress Pakistan’s banking sector has made in aligning with international trade finance practices. By focusing on inclusive and sustainable models, FBL has been able to support both large-scale enterprises and small-to-medium businesses in accessing financial instruments critical to cross-border commerce. This not only enhances the bank’s market position but also contributes to strengthening Pakistan’s economic footprint within regional and global supply chains.
Industry observers note that FBL’s recognition comes at a time when international trade dynamics are rapidly shifting due to technological innovation, regulatory changes, and growing emphasis on sustainability. By winning at the TSCFP Awards, Faysal Bank has positioned itself as a forward-looking institution capable of balancing growth with responsibility, while continuing to champion customer-driven financial innovation.
As global trade becomes more interconnected, the role of banks in ensuring smooth financial flows, mitigating risks, and fostering trust between trading partners is becoming increasingly critical. Awards such as the one presented to FBL not only celebrate past achievements but also set the stage for higher expectations in driving the future of trade finance.
