Nedbank Private Wealth has been named International Bank of the Year at the International Adviser Product and Service Awards 2017, held at The Waldorf Hilton, London.

Greg Horton, managing director of Nedbank Private Wealth, said: “These awards are judged and selected by a balanced blend of industry experts and leading international financial advisers where the judges are looking for exceptional performance. Consequently, we are extremely proud to receive such a prestigious award for our international banking and wealth management services, and are further delighted to learn the judging panel selected us against such strong competition from many of the large international banking groups. 

“Such independent recognition reflects the flexibility and wide range of services available within Focus, our fully integrated banking and investment account. Our financial strength, reputation for integrity and client service excellence in the private client market will now be significantly enhanced by this award within the international financial adviser market.”

Each award category in the International Adviser Product and Service Awards has a lead judge who is a recognised independent expert in their field. They draw up a shortlist in their area of expertise and then, from the shortlist, six financial adviser industry specialists decide the overall winner in each category. The judges look for exceptional performance within each category.

Nedbank Private Wealth’s Focus is a fully integrated banking and investment service that offers a flexible way to manage clients’ international banking and wealth management needs. It combines a whole range of banking and investment services into one seamless cost-effective package, which can save time and simplify administration.
