Singapore Private Banking Introduction

Singapore is an established private-banking and wealth-management centre used by internationally mobile families, entrepreneurs and investors. Private banking can bring together day-to-day banking, international payments and access to a wider range of wealth services through a dedicated relationship.

Coutts Consultants can make introductions to suitable third-party private banking providers where the client's profile and level of investable assets appear to meet the provider's current requirements. We do not provide investment advice or manage the client's money.

Who private banking is for

Private banking is intended for clients with substantial investable assets and more complex banking or wealth-management needs than a normal personal account.

Each bank sets its own minimum relationship size and eligibility rules, so these are checked before an introduction is made.

A relationship rather than just an account

Private banking can include a dedicated relationship manager and access to banking, foreign exchange, lending and investment services offered by the bank.

The exact services depend on the institution and the client's circumstances. Coutts Consultants does not recommend or advise on investments as part of this introduction service.

International families and entrepreneurs

Private banks commonly work with clients whose assets, businesses and family interests span several countries. This can make ownership, source of wealth and tax residence important parts of onboarding.

We help organise the background information needed for the introduction, while the bank carries out its own KYC, suitability and regulatory checks.

How Coutts Consultants can help

We discuss the type of private banking relationship sought, review the client's broad profile and make an introduction where a suitable current provider route is available.

The private bank decides whether to accept the client and is solely responsible for any banking, lending or investment products it later offers.
