The Monarch Innovation Awards are brought to you by Barlow Research Associates, Inc., a leading national firm in providing research to financial institutions. The awards seek to recognize financial institutions and industry partners that provide the most innovative products to business customers and to recognize risk takers who create/promote innovation within their organizations.

Financial institutions that offer services to business customers, as well as vendors supplying products/services to financial institutions or directly to business customers, are eligible. An independent panel of jurists will judge the awards. Winners will be recognized during the 2011 Barlow Research Annual Client Conference.
