Orbian Recognized for Outstanding Crisis Leadership

Global Finance has announced its selections for the Banks and Corporations that displayed Crisis Leadership in 2020 and we are honoured and proud to be part of this selection. This program recognizes banks and companies that went above and beyond in responding to the global pandemic crisis.
