A stable European financial institution with a history of over 120 years. It began as a Swiss family bank and has since grown into a sizeable organisation with branches across nearly all European countries, as well as in New York, Vancouver, and the UAE. Despite its expansion, the bank has preserved the best aspects of family-owned businesses – flexibility in client relations and a personalised approach. It is particularly well-suited to clients seeking investment opportunities, offering a wide range of products from high-yield, progressive instruments to more conservative, low-risk solutions, depending on the client’s preferences. Combined with its relatively low entry threshold, it is a highly attractive choice.

In addition to financial products, the bank offers long-standing clients a suite of non-banking services through its Family Office, including assistance with property searches and purchases, as well as visa support (via trusted partner organisations). For many years, the bank had a strong presence in Russia and the CIS through its Austrian subsidiary, which was sold in 2012. Following the sale, the bank has maintained its operations in the Russian market through its Zurich branch, which employs Russian-speaking staff.
