서울--(뉴스와이어)--Citi Private Bank was voted the best private bank in Korea in the recently-conducted 2010 Asiamoney Private Banking poll. The poll, which seeks responses from high net worth individuals (HNWIs) in Korea, also bestowed high marks for Citi Private Bank in various aspects of wealth management.

Asiamoney is an influential regional financial publication based in Hong Kong and started its annual private banking poll in 2005 to select the best private bank in Asia. The poll is meaningful becauses it obtains direct participation of clients who actually use private banking services. Particularly this year, the poll recorded 2,287 votes which is the largest ever by Asiamoney.

Respondents of the poll were asked to provide their picks in 12 categories including, “Quality of advice”, “Quality and diversity of products”, “Client relationship management and servicing”, “Issues of confidentiality and security”, “Trust services/estate planning/fiduciary services”, “Advisory portfolio management”, “Online services” and “Quality of administration”. Citi Private Bank, with its global platform, innovative products and strong service ethos, won all 12 categories.

Bok-ki Jung, GMM of Citi Private Bank Korea commented:

“This is a tremendous honour for Citi Private Bank in Korea and we are gratified that clients have voted us as the top private bank in the country. Wealthy clients are always seeking customized products and exceptional service, and Citi Private Bank has always strived to meet those needs through regular communication with our clients. However, we also focus on a core element, which is building wealth for our clients. I think our clients value the fact that we are focused on the total concept of wealth management rather than just pushing products. Despite winning, we will continue to work hard to provide the outstanding product platform and services that Citi Private Bank is known for.”
