For the third consecutive year, KBL European Private Bankers (KBL epb) has been recognised among the very best private banking groups in Europe.

The Luxembourg-headquartered group was named among the “Outstanding Private Banks in Europe” at the 27th Private Banker International Global Wealth Awards, which took place in Singapore on Friday 13 October 2017.

Yves Stein, Group CEO, KBL epb, said: “At a time when our group is in the midst of a profound and positive transformation, we are grateful to Private Banker International for recognizing our achievements – and to our clients for their enduring trust.”

According to Private Banker International, recognition is provided to best-practice organisations that are setting new standards, including those that have done the most in the past year to advance and strengthen wealth management as an industry.

Key judging criteria include the ability of organisations to demonstrate a clear and unique strategy to grow their business, while strengthening and extending the reach of their brand. Following category nomination and shortlisting, award selection was made by Private Banker International’s judging panel, comprising independent wealth management specialists and the magazine’s editorial staff.
