PKB Privatbank SA is a small Swiss private bank established in 1958, operating three branches in Switzerland and a subsidiary in Antigua – a remarkable feat for a bank of its size. Traditionally focused on international clients, the bank has never specifically targeted the Russian market, which may be appealing to certain segments of clientele. To put things in perspective: the bank manages around CHF 7 billion in assets.
