In the banking category there were more than 200 winners." The company's awards have since been extended to include Islamic finance.
In January 2017, the consumer watchdog of Botswana was threatened with a legal action for defamation by World News Media for questioning the criteria by which various banks in Botswana had been given a World Finance Award in 2012.
