Barclays ‘Best Private Bank’

ManamaFor the second consecutive year, Barclays has been named as the Best Private Bank in the Middle East by Asian Private Banker (APB).

The prestigious accolade follows a series of awards and titles that the bank has received over the years, with the most recent one being ‘Wealth Manager of the Year’ in the Middle East for 2015 by Global Investor.

Commenting on the award, Cedric Lizin, Head of Middle East and Africa and Head of Business, Japan at Barclays Wealth & Investment Management, said: “We are delighted to have been named the ‘Best Private Bank in the Middle East’ for the second year in a row, which demonstrates our leadership position in investments and wealth management.”

Incepted in 2011, the Asian Private Banker Awards recognises excellence in private banking through a qualitative and quantitative points system, which is scored by a judging panel comprising of industry experts, as well as the editorial staff of the Asian Private Banker.
