How Hinduja Switzerland Bank is Redefining the Swiss Banking?

Located in the very center of Geneva, a city that is synonymous with stability and discretion, is an institution that acts a little differently as compared to its century-old neighbors. S.P. Hinduja Banque Priviere (Hinduja Switzerland Bank) has created a distinct niche operating in the fusion of the ironclad Swiss banking with the entrepreneurial culture of the East. But what is the benefit of this bridge between East and West and how it is transforming the Swiss financial landscape? 

Another type of Swiss Bank 

Many Swiss banks are interested in maintaining the generational wealth with the help of conservative European markets, Hinduja Swiss Bank survives based on entrepreneurial development. The bank was started in 1994 by Srichand P. Hinduja to cater to people who do not simply wish to store money but to move it across the borders such as India, the Middle East and South Asia.

They are also enabling Switzerland to stay relevant to the new money of the 21st century by incorporating digital innovation and orienting impact-driven investing (such as their Climate Action Portfolio).

Diversity and Inclusivity: Chairperson Shanu Hinduja has been strongly outspoken about gender equality in the Swiss financial industry. She is revolutionising the industry by making one of the rare privately owned banks female chair, which will put the national on the path of a meritocratic future and keep Switzerland in the frontline of the global social trends.
