The highly respected magazines The Banker and PWM, which belong to the Financial Times group, have awarded Erste Private Banking the title for Best Private Bank in Central and Eastern Europe for the sixth time in a row.
Erste Private Banking offers a broad spectrum of wealth management services for 20,000 clients in six European countries (Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and Croatia).1
Erste Private Banking in Slovakia also won a prestigious award from Global Finance magazine. Erste Private Banking won the accolade “Best Private Bank in Slovakia” in “Global Finance’s World’s Best Private Bank Awards”.
The sixth edition of Global Finance’s Private Bank Awards honoured the banks that are the best at satisfying the requirements of the most demanding clients. The winners are not always the biggest institutions, but the best. The editorial board of Global Finance selected the winners of the Private Bank Awards according to various criteria such as input from industry experts, independent research, data provided by the banks themselves and other objective and subjective factors.2
Every year, Erste Group celebrates its best private bankers in Central and Eastern Europe. This year’s awards were announced at the Erste Private Banking Summit, whose latest edition took the untraditional form of an online broadcast.
