A quiet battle is under way in private banking to hire trusted, super-talented and increasingly well-paid relationship managers. It is tricky and expensive, and it’s pushing salaries ever higher.

“It is unbelievable. We have never been busier in wealth management as in the past year – and it has been an incredible year.”

Her experience is repeated again and again among recruiters to the global private banking industry worldwide, reflecting an unprecedented demand for private bankers in an industry that is experiencing robust growth.
