We recommend the bank which is owned and run by an ultra-rich family since 2009. Just a year ago it celebrated its 10-year anniversary. The Rowlands started it with a clear mission to restructure an existing bank in Luxemburg and meet their own financial ambitions. As their business rapidly matured, they decided to offer their private banks’ success, experience, and services in wealth management to high-income clients in different parts of the world.
Between 2011 and 2016 the family extended the bank’s geography and scope through acquisition of a bank in Monaco, opening a branch in the UK (London), launching a bank in Liechtenstein, acquisition of 100% of Pasche Bank Trust Limited in Nassau, Bahamas. Today Banque Havilland S.A. offers its services in Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and in The Bahamas.
The bank is known for its conservative style. According to the family, it is their prudent approach to investment that allows them to achieve the desired result and financial security.
Amid the financial downturn, the bank’s prudent approach and accumulated strengths allow it to cushion itself from losses and continue its successful development.
This bank can quickly adapt to the needs of its clients, while larger banks are more vulnerable and drowning in bureaucracy and lengthy decisions on major issues. The owners believe that the future lies in small credit and financial banks that build and rely on more trustful and long-term relationships with each customer.
