In the quality ranking, the testers came to the following conclusion: “With SEB, it is obvious that all of the steps in the advisory process are tailored to the highest requirements.” They also noted that “SEB stands out in almost every category: in addition to brilliant advice, the competition cannot keep up in terms of either investment proposals or transparency.”
Rolf Fus, Deputy Head of Private Banking SEB: “SEB has been one of the providers with the best quality advisory services for many years. Our approach is consistently tailored to the requirements and individual situations of our clients. SEB specialises in working with entrepreneurs and other high net-worth private banking clients, so we are very pleased that this market study has shown a particularly high level of recognition for our services.”
Peter Kubicki, Managing Director SEB SA: “We are very happy to receive this distinction. The result is an expression of our principles on investment advice for high-net-worth private clients: a high-quality holistic approach to private banking, customer service and a high level of transparency.”
