Banque Syz SA

Banque Syz SA is a Swiss private bank headquartered in Geneva, founded in 1996 as part of the SYZ Group by Eric Syz and partners. The bank focuses on discretionary and advisory wealth management for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, family offices and entrepreneurs, providing multi-currency accounts, custody and execution, portfolio management across public markets, foreign exchange and structured products, and secured lending such as Lombard credit; through group affiliates it also offers access to alternative investments including private equity, private debt and hedge funds. It operates under the supervision of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and participates in the Swiss deposit protection scheme (esisuisse), which covers up to CHF 100,000 per eligible depositor. Client onboarding and account servicing follow Swiss anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer rules, and the bank supports CRS and FATCA reporting where applicable. The institution uses an open-architecture approach alongside in-house capabilities, with investment policy and risk oversight centralized at group level; pricing typically combines management or advisory fees with custody and transaction charges disclosed in client agreements. Banque Syz SA is privately held, publishes audited annual financial statements and regulatory capital ratios, and reports group assets under management in the tens of billions of Swiss francs; it serves international clients through Switzerland and other group entities, subject to cross-border regulations. The service proposition is geared to clients seeking bespoke portfolios, access to alternatives and balance sheet lending from a Swiss booking center rather than mass-market retail banking.
