At a glance

A dynamic Swiss private banking group with an entrepreneurial culture, delivering agile global wealth management and tailored credit solutions.

Typical lending profile

Highly flexible structured credit and Lombard lending, with a strong appetite for international real estate financing involving complex offshore holding structures.

Where they may be a good fit

  • International Entrepreneurs & Expats: Business owners with multi-jurisdictional assets and foreign currency income who require quick, creative structuring.

  • Non-Standard Asset Holders: Clients looking to leverage diverse assets, concentrated stock, or international investment portfolios.

  • Cross-Border Buyers: Investors acquiring prime UK assets through complex corporate or trust configurations.

Approach to Private Banking

They pride themselves on an entrepreneurial, solution-oriented mindset. Credit is viewed as an enabling tool, and they are highly receptive to bespoke standalone transactions.

Pavilion's View

They are one of the most flexible private banks in the market for non-standard, cross-border scenarios.

While other institutions look for reasons to decline complex international structures, their underwriters actively look for creative ways to risk-manage and clear the deal.
