Financial-i magazine announced today that Surecomp, a leading provider of global trade solutions for the financial services community, has been named the winner of the fourth annual Financial-i Leaders in Innovation Award for trade finance. With receipt of this award in both 2009 and 2008, Surecomp has earned the prestigious accolade for two consecutive years.

According to Financial-i magazine, a leading London-based magazine for the wholesale financial services industry, the Leaders in Innovation Awards identify global financial software/hardware vendors and transaction banks that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to innovation. Full coverage of the award winners will be featured in the Q4/2009 edition of Financial-i, to be published later this month.
