Union Bancaire Privée (UBP) was founded in 1969 by Edgar de Picciotto. Since then, it has remained a privately-owned independent Swiss financial institution. The Bank focuses exclusively on global wealth management for private and institutional clients. Its targets are clear: preserving and generating client wealth over the long term.
Today, UBP ranks among the largest private banks in Switzerland, thanks to the constant development of its core activities in line with its strategic vision, and investing for the future. The Bank has achieved remarkable growth in 45 years by seizing the best opportunities. Through targeted acquisitions and partnerships, UBP continues to expand both in its home market and abroad, strengthening its positioning in its preferred markets while constantly building up its financial expertise.
Headquartered in Geneva, the Bank is also present in Switzerland’s other financial centres – Zurich, Basel, and Lugano – as well as in some 25 locations worldwide, enabling it to combine global expertise with local know-how.
