Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft (Schweiz) AG

Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft (Schweiz) AG is a Swiss private bank headquartered in Zurich and part of the Frankfurter Bankgesellschaft Group, the private banking arm of Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen (Helaba) within the German Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. The bank holds a Swiss banking license and is supervised by FINMA; Swiss franc deposits are covered by the statutory deposit insurance scheme (esisuisse) up to the applicable limits. Its business focuses on discretionary and advisory wealth management for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, family offices, and selected institutions such as foundations and pension schemes, as well as services for external asset managers. The offering spans portfolio management, investment advisory, custody and execution, multi-currency cash accounts, and standard private-banking financing such as Lombard lending; real estate and succession topics are typically addressed via coordination with external specialists. The investment platform operates on an open-architecture basis, combining direct securities, third-party funds and ETFs, and structured solutions, alongside in-house mandates; access to alternative investments and sustainable/ESG strategies is available where suitable and permissible. The group positions itself as a private banking partner to the German savings banks, and it includes a separate German entity for onshore services; cross-border services from Switzerland are provided under the applicable country-specific rules. Clients can use e-banking and consolidated reporting; tax reporting is available for selected markets, and the bank participates in international transparency standards such as CRS/AEOI. Pricing follows the conventional Swiss private banking model of management and/or advisory fees, custody charges, and transaction costs; relationship minimums apply and the platform is not aimed at retail transactional banking. Standard account-opening, KYC/AML, and suitability requirements apply, and service availability depends on client domicile and regulatory constraints. As with any investment relationship, clients remain exposed to market, currency, credit, liquidity, and operational risks; cash protection is limited to the statutory deposit insurance, and investments held in custody are subject to asset-price fluctuations and issuer risk.
