PKB Private Bank has received significant recognition at the WealthBriefing Swiss Awards 2025, reinforcing its status as a leading institution in Lugano’s financial hub. This recognition underscores the bank’s commitment to delivering high quality services to an international clientele while maintaining deep-rooted ties to the local community.
PKB Private Bank is proud to be among the winners of the WealthBriefing Swiss Awards 2025, announced last night at the awards ceremony in Geneva. The bank secured first place in the "Specialist International Team" category and, for the second consecutive year, was recognized as the "Lugano-Based Private Bank" of the year.
For the "Specialist International Team" category, the jury recognized PKB Private Bank as a benchmark of innovation and excellence, highlighting its holistic-global cross-border model. This approach enables the bank to serve Italian-resident clients in full compliance with the regulatory framework, leveraging synergies with Cassa Lombarda, the Italian private banking boutique which is part of PKB group.
Additionally, PKB once again distinguished itself for its ability to seamlessly blend tradition and innovation, reinforcing its reputation as a respected and well-established player in the financial sector. The bank’s partnership with Sygnum Bank, granting clients access to regulated cryptocurrency offerings, and its support for high-potential startups through the PKB AddVenture Academy are tangible examples of its forward-thinking mindset and commitment to the local economic ecosystem.
«We are proud to see our efforts recognized through these awards, reaffirming the validity of our path. As we continue to grow and pursue our long-term strategy, we are constantly looking for innovative solutions to support our clients» commented Luca Venturini, Chief Executive Officer.
