About the Awards

For over 20 years, Euromoney’s Private Banking Awards has recognised the private banks of distinction across key categories, which today includes high to ultra-high net worth, family office services, succession planning, digital services, discretionary portfolio management, sustainability and more.

From global awards – including world’s best private bank, and best private bank for family office services – to multiple regional and country awards, the comprehensive programme covers the business areas of private banking and wealth management that are most important to an institution’s key stakeholders, board and executive management teams. For the 2026 Private Banking Awards, Euromoney also recognised the leading providers of services, products and solutions to private banks and wealth managers, including investment managers, insurance providers, and technology vendors.

We seek the best of the best in private banking services globally, regionally and in each country. This simply means we are looking for the banks and private bank service providers that can best demonstrate how they have truly excelled over the award period in providing their clients with the best possible advice, service and solutions.

Each award is submission-based, allowing each bank to tell the story of its achievements, innovations and performance over the 12-month award period, which runs from July to June each year.

It’s not always easy to go to your clients and say ‘I’m really the best at what I do.’ It’s even better when that recognition comes from an institution as credible and important as Euromoney

Our continuous research cycle

Co-create Collect Validate Research Engage

Co-create with the market

We work with banks to define each programme. Together we identify the metrics, capabilities and client outcomes that matter most, ensuring the research reflects real strategic priorities.

Proprietary data collection

Data is collected throughout the year. We combine institutional submissions, structured metrics and direct client feedback gathered via large-scale surveys. This creates datasets that do not exist elsewhere.

Validation and scoring

All inputs pass through a structured analytical framework. Quantitative evidence, qualitative submissions and client sentiment are validated, challenged and scored to ensure our decisions are consistent, evidence-based and analytically robust.

Research outputs

Validated datasets are delivered as performance rankings, client sentiment benchmarks and award outcomes. These provide a structured view of competitive positioning across products and markets.

Analyst engagement

Our analysts deliver findings directly to clients and provide clarity on results and methodology. Ongoing dialogue drives refinement ensuring each research cycle evolves and the underlying dataset continuously improves.
