We are extremely honoured to have been recognised by Asian Private Banker as the Best Private Bank – Intermediaries.

Winning this prestigious distinction for the third time further solidifies our position in the intermediaries business. It is a testament to the hard work of our team, coupled with the unwavering trust and support of our clients and partners.

This also aligns with the trajectory and progress of our Strategy 2026, which is now in its growth phase. We are well-positioned to lead the way in servicing Intermediaries and our private clients with unparalleled excellence.

What we said

“In Asia, boutique player VP Bank has notably excelled in capturing the EAM segment, which typically constitutes 5-10% of a private bank’s business. However, at VP Bank, this segment comprises a substantial 50% and shows continuous growth,” said Audrey Raj, senior consultant and South Asia editor of Asian Private Banker. “Despite this achievement, VP Bank remains proactive in staying abreast of trends, innovating its business approach.

“The bank is enhancing technology, streamlining operations, and prioritising client-centricity. Additionally, it is expanding its range of structured products for Asian clients. VP Bank’s tokenisation service is receiving positive feedback from clients in the region.

“In addition to Singapore and Hong Kong, VP Bank’s target markets in Asia include Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Its partnership with Hywin Wealth International has doubled business volume, and the bank is actively organising roadshows in China. Congratulations to VP Bank for clinching the title of Best Private Bank – Intermediaries. Team APB celebrates your welldeserved achievement.”
