Euromoney’s Private Banking Awards are the most prestigious in the growing area of wealth management. They cover over 60 countries each year, as well as global and regional awards. They are voted for by the people who know the industry best – the private bankers themselves. Winning an award is a confirmation of excellence in wealth management, which banks use to promote their credentials to clients – and a cause for celebration at our annual Awards Dinner.

The most obvious respondents would be customers, but given their desire for secrecy and the issues of finding a representative sample this is problematic. We have therefore asked the private banks and wealth managers themselves to identify the firms that they consider to be their top competitors – it is therefore a peer review.

Asia’s disparate markets and economies have found common ground in the widespread adoption of digital technology. Starting with consumer clients, expectations are rising up the banking chain and banks need to keep pace.
