1. Context & Challenge
The challenge for private banks in client engagement and next-generation loyalty
Private banks struggle with engaging high-net-worth clients beyond basic financial advice. Relationships are often centered on the wealth owner and lack deeper value, making it hard to build loyalty — especially with the next generation. This directly impacts client retention and puts assets under management (AUM) at risk during wealth transfer.
