IAMTN Annual Money Transfer Awards 2011


WEBWIRE –

The results of this year’s IAMTN Annual Money Transfer Awards were announced at a special ceremony during the Global Money Transfers Summit - 2011 (GMTS-2011) that took place at London’s Hilton Hotel on Park Lane in London on 15th November 2011. The awards were even more strongly contested this year than in previous years. There was more competition as money transfer businesses competed for the prestige of receiving an award. There is no better reward than being recognised by one’s peers.

The Award winners were announced by Leon Isaacs, Managing Director-IAMTN, and presented by Veronica Studsgaard, CEO-IAMTN, Mohit Davar, Hon Chairman-IAMTN and Olivier Denis from SWIFT.
