Arab Bank (Switzerland) Ltd.

Arab Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. is a Swiss private bank founded in 1962, headquartered in Geneva with an office in Zurich, and affiliated with the Arab Bank Group. It holds a Swiss banking license and is supervised by FINMA; eligible client deposits are protected up to CHF 100,000 per client under the esisuisse scheme. The bank focuses on high‑net‑worth and ultra‑high‑net‑worth individuals, family offices, and entrepreneurs, including clients with links to Europe and the Middle East and North Africa. Its offering covers discretionary and advisory portfolio management, execution‑only brokerage, custody and safekeeping, multi‑currency accounts and payments, foreign exchange and precious metals dealing, access to funds, equities, fixed income and structured products, selected alternative investments, and credit facilities such as Lombard lending secured by liquid assets; mortgage or corporate financing may be available subject to eligibility and collateral. Onboarding follows Swiss KYC/AML, tax, and cross‑border requirements with source‑of‑wealth verification; relationship minimums apply and vary by service and jurisdiction. Digital channels include e‑banking and mobile access; since 2019 the bank has offered digital‑asset custody and trading for selected cryptocurrencies to private and professional clients via a regulated Swiss infrastructure partner. Pricing generally follows private‑banking practices with management and custody fees, product‑level costs, transaction charges, FX spreads, and interest margins on credit, with detailed fee schedules provided during onboarding. Product availability depends on client domicile and regulatory permissions, and all deposits and investments are subject to market, credit, liquidity, operational, and legal risks.
