Standard Bank Wealth & Investment SA wins best private bank award

Judged by senior executives and sector specialists from around the world, the Global Finance World’s Best Private Bank Awards honours banks that best serve the needs of high-net-worth clients.

The winners are institutions whose qualities rate highly with clients.

Standard Bank Wealth & Investment SA was recognised for its exceptional customer value proposition, insights-led approach, and ability to offer solutions that go beyond banking to enable clients to grow, manage and preserve their generational wealth. 

“We are honoured that we have once again been named SA’s Best Private Bank by Global Finance,” says Sanah Gumede, head of Standard Bank Wealth & Investment SA.

“We are committed to building meaningful relationships with clients, and are delighted to have been recognised globally for our bespoke and personalised service, innovative product range and ability to meet the generational needs of clients and their families.” 

As an integral pillar of the Standard Bank Group, Africa’s largest bank ranked by assets and earnings, Wealth & Investment SA allows clients to capitalise on local and global opportunities. The group’s presence throughout SA, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Jersey ensures clients have access to holistic solutions designed to meet their local and offshore requirements. 

This international footprint, combined with innovative digital technology that facilitates engagement across multiple platforms, allows clients to leverage the expertise, tools and diversification required to create a globally effective wealth strategy.

“When it comes to private banking, business owners and top finance sector executives are sophisticated and knowledgeable clients, savvy to economic and financial trends, but with an array of needs,” says Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance.

“The Global Finance Private Bank Awards highlight institutions that deliver on the numbers and on the human side.” 

As an advocate for service excellence, Gumede says relationships are key when it comes to creating real and lasting value for clients.

“Our core philosophy is based on a real understanding of each client’s circumstances and requirements,” says Gumede.

“These insights enable us to provide tailored solutions that meet their needs and create opportunities for them to grow and preserve their wealth for future generations.” 

Having recently celebrated 160 years as a group, Standard Bank continues to cement its place at the forefront of Africa’s financial growth.

“It is with great pride that we begin 2023 having won an award that reflects our unwavering commitment to our clients and their wealth journeys,” says Gumede.

“We look forward to continue with delivering award-winning financial solutions and advancing the group's purpose: Africa is our home and we drive her growth.”
