The award has a rigorous selection process and with funds transfer clients having to demonstrate that they are able to meet the stringent criteria. Consequently, less than 1% of JP Morgan Chase's funds transfer clients are able to meet the selection criteria to qualify for this award. This year only 100 banks out of 4500 were recognized for various industry excellence awards.
