Stéphane Vermeire - HEAD OF BNP PARIBAS FORTIS PRIVATE BANKING

I am very pleased that we have won this award. I see it as recognition of our strong drive to put our inclusive, family and cross-generational approach at the heart of everything we do. In this respect, the personal relationship between clients and private bankers is a key factor for us. Today, it is more than ever the role of our relationship managers to listen to clients' concerns and needs, fully understand what they care about, but also to reassure them in these uncertain times. We also have a strong network of expertise in all areas of wealth management. When I look at our offering, I am proud to see that for many years, we have been a forerunner in sustainable investments, something our clients are more and more interested in. Our digital platform PaxFamilia remains an essential lever to give our clients a holistic view of their assets, and a crucial part of our tailor-made approach. Most importantly, I would like to thank our clients for their trust in our services. I would also like to wholeheartedly thank our teams for their huge commitment to putting best-in-class service and client satisfaction first.
