Barclays is proud to have won significant industry awards underlining the quality of its expertise, bespoke product offering, integrated banking model, and innovative financial solutions
Dubai, UAE: In recognition of its continued leadership in the Wealth & Investment Management space, Barclays has been crowned Best Private Bank in the Middle East by Asian Private Banker (APB) recognising Barclays' superior value proposition and client centric service model in the realm of private banking in the region. This recognition from Asian Private Banker comes from distinguished independent juries around the world and is considered to be among the most prestigious awards for Private Banking.
The Asian Private Banker Awards are bestowed to Asia's private banks for their annual accomplishments and achievements. The panel's decision to name Barclays the Best Private Bank in the Middle East was based on a number of factors including Barclays' commitment to client service and excellence in the High Net Worth (HNW) and Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) space, accessibility to investment advisors, its integrated banking model, strong regional presence, investment in technology, and Barclays' client centric bespoke advisory services.
Cedric Lizin, Head of Middle East and North Africa and Head of Business, Japan at Barclays Wealth & Investment Management, said: "This accolade demonstrates that Barclays' capabilities are recognised by the financial ecosystem and confirms Barclays' success in providing clients with superior advice and solutions to protect and grow their wealth. Recently, Barclays received recognition from numerous financial publications and institutions for service and expertise in the field of Private Banking and Wealth Management. This award reflects our persistent focus on our clients' needs, our innovative integrated banking approach and our skills in providing global financial solutions."
Very recently, Global Investors (Euromoney) named Barclays the Wealth Manager of the Year in the Middle East and WealthBriefing crowned the bank as the Best Private Bank in Qatar at the inaugural WealthBriefing GCC Region Awards 2014. The awards that Barclays has received during the year acknowledged the company's strategic efforts and its successful positioning. Moreover, these accolades showcase Barclays firm commitment to providing its clients with private banking excellence and quality service.
