Nine Euromoney Awards, and Best Private Bank in Three Countries

The banking giant emerged victorious with a total of nine awards across several markets, including countries where it operates under the Stanbic Bank brand. Notably, it was also recognised as Africa's Best for high-net-worth clients and for our Family Office services.

“Winning the title of Africa’s Best Bank for high-net-worth clients, alongside being named the top private bank in multiple countries, truly reaffirms our core mission: Africa is our home; we drive her growth. This recognition further solidifies our position as a leader in private banking in the continent,” said Funeka Montjane, Chief Executive of Personal and Private Banking at Standard Bank Group.

Montjane added that these accolades represent the culmination of years of dedication by Standard Bank and Stanbic Bank to foster the economic development of Africa and support its people. “Our focus on improving our client experience and providing our Private Bank clients with access to offshore investments through our Isle of Man and Jersey operations has been key in setting us apart from our competitors,” said Montjane.
