A sterling reputation is hard-earned. It involves the synthesis of a countless number of little things, each one done very well indeed. Great financial services institutions do the right things right — over and over again. Mizuho — Banking Beyond Limits presents the findings of a multi-year, independent study on the firm’s wholesale banking reputation. This first-of-its-kind research captures the perspectives of 4,039 key decision-makers from Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000 companies, offering an unparalleled look into how business clients perceive Mizuho. They evaluated Mizuho’s wholesale banking performance across six critical dimensions: client-centricity, external engagement, competitiveness, leadership and employee quality, innovativeness, and business model efficiency and effectiveness (e.g., Mizuho’s reliability as a business partner, its agility, client responsiveness, and resilience).

For those seeking an even deeper understanding of the drivers behind excellence in wholesale banking, seen through the lens of clients, I strongly recommend reviewing the ‘Extended Edition’ of the Goldman Sachs report, Goldman Sachs — The Blueprint for Leadership. As the top-rated firm in this extensive, multi-year study, Goldman Sachs received the most ‘best bank’ nominations, offering valuable insights for every leading bank, financial behemoth or boutique bank.

This report is scheduled for release soon.
