Piguet Galland among the leaders of the SPBIx 2026

In a constantly evolving banking environment, the identity of a private bank can no longer be defined solely by its offering or its size. It is built over time, through the consistency of choices, clarity of positioning and the quality of the relationships cultivated with clients.

It is precisely this identity that the Swiss Private Banking Identity Index (SPBIx) analyses and assesses each year, based on an independent and demanding methodology.

2026 results confirming a clear trajectory

In its 2026 edition, the SPBIx once again confirms Piguet Galland’s position among Switzerland’s reference institutions.

The Bank is ranked in the “Leader” category, the most demanding tier of the index, which includes only a minority of the banks assessed. It also stands out through several top-tier rankings:

• Top 10 private banks in Switzerland – No. 2, up four places
• Top 10 in French-speaking Switzerland – No. 2
• Leader among banks with assets under CHF 20 billion

These results reflect a positive and coherent dynamic, driven by sustained work on identity, clarity of messaging and alignment between strategic vision and client experience.

Banking identity as a differentiating factor

The SPBIx does not measure financial performance. Instead, it focuses on how a bank expresses who it is: its vision, values, relational proposition and its ability to embody them in a clear and credible manner.

In a sector often perceived as homogeneous, the ability to assert a distinct identity becomes a genuine differentiating factor. It requires consistency, discipline and long-term commitment.

A vision aligned with intimate banking

At Piguet Galland, this recognition is rooted in a clear vision of private banking: an approach based on proximity, coherence and long-term relationships.

Intimate banking is not an abstract concept, but a way of practising the profession, attentive to the specificities of each situation, grounded in listening and guided by a nuanced understanding of financial, human and entrepreneurial challenges.

Recognition, but above all a responsibility

Being recognised among the leaders of the SPBIx represents both a validation and a responsibility: to continue to bring this identity to life, to translate it into action and to strengthen it over time.
