The Euromoney Cash Management Survey recognises the leading providers of cash management products and services. The survey covers 12 product and client categories on global and regional basis, ranking results in 56 countries.

EuroMoney surveys cash managers, treasurers and financial officers worldwide. The survey reports the standard of international and domestic cash management services corporate customers receive from their bankers. The scope included international and domestic payments, collections, liquidity management and other services.

Respondents (Corporate customers, Financial and non-Financial) are asked which top three banks they mostly use for their cash management services and to rate services provided by their lead Cash Manager on sliding scale of 1 being poor to 7 being excellent.

Corporate customers were surveyed to provide their feedback directly to EuroMoney based on the experience they have had with Cash Management services.

In 2018, Barclays Bank was also adjudged the Best Bank in Ghana by Euromoney.
