Private Banking Awards

Recognising excellence in private banking. Euromoney’s Private Banking Awards is the preeminent annual awards programme of the worldwide private banking and wealth management industry.

For over 20 years, the programme 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.

About the awards

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 will also recognise 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.

Assessment and judging

• We aim to make the process as transparent as possible.

• Entrants will be assessed by Euromoney’s research team (including the Chief Research Officer, the Global Head of Research, the Global Head of Private Banking, the Global Head of Sustainability and others).

• Entrants will all be scored using frameworks specific to each category.

• Your entry and any information collected during an interview and secondary research, in addition to our team’s knowledge of the market and businesses operating within it, will all contribute to your scores.

• Euromoney research analysts will be allocated categories based on experience and knowledge of these areas with more than one individual judging each category.

• Euromoney research analysts may, at their discretion, nominate entries for additional award categories if it qualifies for recognition in more than one area. Entrants will be notified if this is the case.
