Nominations are now open for the Most Powerful Women in Banking and Finance 2023

Enjoy complimentary access to top ideas and insights — selected by our editors.

As we prepare to celebrate the 21st  anniversary of our Most Powerful Women in Banking list, we're now accepting nominations for honorees in this year's ranking.

This is the place to nominate a CEO or senior leader at a bank or in financial services. We're selecting honorees both for their individual accomplishments and for their work on a team of top women.

Please note that we have extended the deadline for submissions to May 19, 2023.

We've made some changes to the submission process this year, so please read the forms carefully. 

We have also changed the requirements for Top Teams. The award will now recognize work within a specific business line or lending group, a department, division, or a project. While the business line, etc., doesn't not need to be exclusively female, women should account for a majority of the team members.

Please note that the deadline to apply for the Most Powerful Women in Banking and Finance 2023 is Friday, May 19th at 11:59 p.m. EST)

We recommend previewing the application, gathering all material offline first, and then cutting and pasting answers directly into the online form. However, partially completed submissions may be saved in the system until ready to submit. More detailed instructions are provided once you begin.
