World’s Best Private Banks 2021 - Middle East | Global Finance | TBA

While Arab private banking is still making its debut compared to the giants of the global industry, this year’s Middle East winners exhibit an exceptional mix of grassroots expertise and the capacity to address the same types and level of challenges as their global competitors.

In each of the region’s markets, the largest local banks are setting their sights on providing world-class private banking services while keeping a close eye on the specific needs of their elite domestic client base. A handful of these institutions are building their regional footprint while extending operations to new markets in Europe, Asia and Africa. That said, the biggest names in global private banking with a long presence in the Middle East—mostly from the UK, the US, France and Switzerland—are maintaining their profile and gaining market share in specific segments.
