Sabadell Urquijo - Banco Sabadell’s private banking arm - has received another international award, adding to those it has received from several international entities in recent months.
On this occasion, the Bank was named the World’s Best Private Bank For Client Education by Global Finance Magazine as part of its annual awards. The publication is one of the leading magazines for financial services professionals worldwide. The award was presented in London during a ceremony attended by Carmen Muñoz Mascaraque, Commercial Development Director, who accepted the honour on behalf of SabadellUrquijo Banca Privada.
The award recognises SabadellUrquijo as the world's best bank for customer education, acknowledging its efforts to empowering clients to make investment decisions based on the most comprehensive and high-quality information available.
Among the reasons for selecting Banco Sabadell’s private banking brand as the world’s best in this category for 2025, Global Finance Magazine highlights the fact that “customer education has become one of the core pillars of the Institution’s business strategy”. The magazine also highlights the organisation of over 160 exclusive events throughout Spain, around 60% of which were in-person and online training sessions. These were complemented by the dissemination of training materials covering a range of financial topics.
The publication also emphasised the high levels of customer satisfaction with clients rating their banker 9.30 out of 10 for the support, training and information provided on their investments and market developments.
During the last few months, the Institution had already been recognised with other international awards. As part of the Global Private Banking Innovation Awards 2025, it received four of the awards presented, competing alongside the world’s leading private banking brands. Last year, it won the Outstanding Client Experience in Wealth Management during the Global Private Banking Innovation Awards 2025. Earlier in 2024, it had already been recognised as the Best Private Banking Entity in Spain by Global Private Banker.
Currently, 80% of its clients have been with the entity for more than 10 years, and a large proportion of new clients who join each year do so through direct recommendations from long-standing clients, providing further evidence of the high levels of client satisfaction.
A private banking model that is recognised by both customers and international analysts
Banco Sabadell continues to successfully roll out its current private banking model, launched over two years ago, which has delivered sustained and significant growth in client numbers and business volumes, further reinforced by these international accolades.
This new model is based on a personalised approach to relationship management and the provision of highly specialised products and services, underpinned by close collaboration with the Bank’s other networks and business units to identify opportunities and provide comprehensive solutions to clients’ needs. Among the most popular and sought-after private banking products are mutual funds and discretionary management portfolios, together with structured products, insurance products and alternative assets. The agreements entered into with Amundi and Zurich are key to the ability to offer an attractive and competitive product range.
