Barclays Capital has received five #1 rankings in this year’s FX Week’s Best Bank Awards and ranked top 3 overall in 18 categories out of 26, up from nine categories in 2008.

#1 rankings:

• Best Bank for Dollar/Sterling (for three consecutive years)
• Best Bank for Euro/Sterling (for three consecutive years)
• Best Bank for FX in London (for three consecutive years)
• Best Bank for ETrading (for two consecutive years)
• Best Bank for FX Structured Products

FX Week asked 7,000 market professionals to nominate their top banks across products and currencies.

Commenting on the ETrading award for BARX FX, FX Week said: "Barclays Capital has solidified its standing as the poster child for electronic foreign exchange… The bank’s technological prowess proved critical during a year characterised by a crisis of credit and liquidity, compounded by severe systems failures at the core market facilitators."
