Tirana Bank has been awarded the prestigious title “Bank of the Year in Albania 2025” by The Banker, one of the world’s most respected financial publications and part of the Financial Times group. Founded in 1926, The Banker is renowned for its rigorous evaluation methodology, precise financial analysis, and international reputation across more than 160 banking markets.

During the official ceremony in London, representatives of Tirana Bank received the trophy, a clear testament to the high standards the institution has achieved.
The recognition from The Banker comes only a few months after Tirana Bank was named “Best Bank in Albania 2025” by Euromoney, making this year one of the most significant chapters in the bank’s history. Two of the most trusted names in global finance confirm the same outcome, Tirana Bank is excelling.
“Being recognized as the ‘Bank of the Year in Albania’ by The Banker is an exceptionally important accomplishment for us. This award, together with the recognition from Euromoney, clearly shows that our work is valued both domestically and internationally. We are proud of everything we have built and determined to continue advancing with the same ambitious pace,” said Dritan Mustafa, CEO of Tirana Bank.
According to the Financial Times methodology, the “Bank of the Year” awards assess institutions across several core criteria: financial growth and stability, technological and digital transformation, quality of customer experience, and tangible contribution to the country’s economy. Tirana Bank distinguished itself in all these areas, thanks to measurable results and an institutional culture anchored in performance and innovation.
This international recognition further strengthens Tirana Bank’s reputation and positions it as a modern, dynamic institution with a meaningful role in the development of Albania’s financial sector.
