Activities of the Private Clients Division
Private Banking, Personal Banking
The Private Clients Division of VP Bank provides personalized
services aimed at safeguarding and increasing
the financial assets of our clients.
Private Banking – based on a relationship of personal trust
VP Bank offers to a wealthy, international clientele comprehensive
advice and a full range of services that are adapted
to each class of asset. We are of the firm conviction that
we can only fulfil the needs of our clients by taking a holistic
approach to wealth management. Needless to say,
the direct interaction between client and advisor is central
to those efforts. Long-term success and wealth accumulation
can only come about when the client’s entire portfolio
of assets has been thoroughly analyzed and integrated into
an overall investment concept. And a prerequisite for that
is a long-term partnership built on intimacy and trust.
That, indeed, is our perception of what private banking is
all about.
Personal Banking – where reliability and the exploitation
of synergies count the most
VP Bank is locally anchored and internationally linked.
And that fact makes it particularly attractive for regional
private customers to enter into a banking relationship with
us. Regional proximity and local presence make VP Bank
an ideal partner for everyday banking business. And taking
centre stage in this regard is the emphasis we place on
the efficient and professional handling of all types of
transaction, providing support in investment matters, as
well as the financing of private transactions. A wide array
of beneficial synergies are at the disposal of high-networth
individuals.
In the 2002 financial year, we redoubled our efforts to
provide the utmost in personalized services. We resolutely
orient our in-house processes towards client needs so
that we can continually improve the quality as well as the
efficiency of our service and advice, even in the face of a
challenging business and securities-market environment.
Our innovative “more4u” e-banking solution has proved to
be a valuable instrument and offers clients an ideal means
of conducting their banking transactions electronically.
