Fibank (First Investment Bank) received two prestigious awards at the Company of the Year ceremony. The largest Bulgarian bank won in the “Bank of the Year” and “Employer Branding” categories thanks to its positive campaign for 2022. Last year, First Investment Bank won first place in the Innovative Bank of the Year and Sustainable Development categories with its Sustainable Lady Fund.
On behalf of Fibank, the Bank of the Year award was accepted by Mr. Nikola Bakalov, CEO and Chairman of the Board. He shared some facts to illustrate the bank’s leading role in the industry: “Fibank has strengthened its position in the Bulgarian banking market as a customer-centric, innovative and socially responsible company. Today you can become a Fibank customer from anywhere in the world and do your banking freely, using your mobile phone or smartwatch. Our thanks go to the entire Fibank team, without whom none of this would have been possible. This year our bank celebrates its 30th anniversary and the award I feel “Today’s award shows that we are on the right track,” emphasized Mr. Bakalov in his speech.
First Investment Bank was also the undisputed leader in the “Employer Branding” category, where the well-deserved recognition of the competition jury went to Mrs. Ilona Staneva, the bank’s Marketing and Advertising Director. Fibank won the award for its Different Employer campaign, which took place last year.
The Company of the Year award is given to companies, corporations or managers for their outstanding achievements in various categories. The aim is to promote successful management models, effective business practices and proper human capital development, thereby promoting entrepreneurship among the Bulgarian public and supporting the startup community in the country.
