Fifth Third Bank Ranks as Top U.S. Bank in Foreign Exchange Customer Service

CINCINNATI--()--Fifth Third Bank was recently named the top U.S. bank in customer service in both North and Latin America by Euromoney Market Data’s 2011 Foreign Exchange Survey. More than 1,900 respondents from large and international corporations voted, ranking Fifth Third Bank third in the annual survey, and the only U.S. bank to make the top five.

“Providing superior customer service is a key focus of our Foreign Exchange team, especially now, given the market volatility and related concerns from our customers,” said Bob Tull, vice president and managing director of Foreign Exchange and Commodities Risk Management for Fifth Third Bank. “We continue to rank in the top of Euromoney’s customer service survey, demonstrating that a superregional bank like Fifth Third can compete and effectively service businesses of all sizes.”
