Our Institution

A private bank built to outlast its founders.

Founded in 1992 by a consortium of European family offices, Providence Private Bank was established not for profit maximization — but for stewardship. That mandate has not changed.

Our People

"The best private bankers don't sell products. They listen, think, and build."

140 professionals. 7 independent board members. One mandate: long-term stewardship.

Jurisdiction

Liechtenstein — chosen with purpose.

The Principality of Liechtenstein is not an accident of our founding. Its legal system — rooted in Roman law and Austrian codification — combined with EEA market access and FMA regulatory oversight offers a combination unavailable anywhere else in Europe.

Our "AG" (Aktiengesellschaft) structure provides the governance transparency appropriate for an institution of our standing: annual audited accounts, an independent supervisory board, and regulatory capital maintained well above statutory minimums at 18.4%.

We are a private bank in the original sense: privately owned, independently governed, and answerable only to our clients and our regulators.

Regulatory Standing
✦  Regulated by FMA Liechtenstein
✦  EEA Passport — EU market access
✦  FATCA & CRS compliant
✦  AML Directive IV / V adherent
✦  Annual independent audit — PwC Zürich
✦  Capital adequacy: 18.4% (min 10.5%)
Leadership
A supervisory board of seven independent members, a management board of three executive directors, and 140 professionals across our Vaduz headquarters and representative offices in Geneva, Vienna, and Singapore.

A history of purposeful growth.

Foresight

Anticipating challenges and opportunities across generations — not quarters. Our decisions are made through a 20-year lens, not a 20-day one.

Privacy

Your financial affairs remain yours alone. Liechtenstein law provides some of Europe's strongest client confidentiality protections, and we exceed every statutory requirement.

Legacy

We build structures that outlast markets, leaders, and geopolitical cycles. Succession planning is the purpose around which every engagement is designed.
