Private bank

"Private bank" means a bank focused on wealth management for private clients; it is not a separate legal category: it is licensed and supervised by FINMA like any bank. In Geneva the term also refers to the historic private bankers, whose partners had unlimited personal liability. The bank holds its clients' assets itself.
