 Written by [Selman Bicaco Urrutia, Head of Private Banking](https://www.piguetgalland.ch/en/news/author/selman-bicaco-urrutia-head-of-private-banking) | Aug 21, 2025 8:13:10 AM

In the latest episode of Basis Point Channel, Selman Bicaco, Head of Private Banking at Piguet Galland & Cie SA, shared his vision of private banking and explained what makes our approach truly unique.

###### A deliberate choice: focusing on French-speaking Switzerland

While many private banks are expanding internationally, Piguet Galland has made the conscious decision to focus almost exclusively on French-speaking Switzerland.

A smaller playing field? Perhaps. But above all, it’s a highly effective specialisation that allows us to stay close to our clients and their environment. This regional anchoring strengthens proximity, understanding of local specificities, and the quality of the trust-based relationship.

###### Intimate banking: a distinctive approach

At the heart of the discussion, Selman introduced the concept of intimate banking – the true DNA of Piguet Galland.

More than a banking relationship, it’s a human connection built on listening, transparency, and personalised support. In practice, this means taking the time to understand each client’s story, projects, and unique needs – whether they are entrepreneurs, families, or individuals undergoing wealth transitions.

###### Supporting clients with specific needs

Piguet Galland serves a diverse clientele, always with a commitment to personalisation.

Each profile has its own specificities:

- **Entrepreneurs**, whose wealth management is often closely tied to their business;
- **Families**, seeking security, legacy planning, and long-term stability;
- **Individuals in transition**, for whom trust and attentive listening are essential.

This ability to adapt lies at the very core of intimate banking.
