Some values cannot be bought - they are lived. For PKB Private Bank, these are independence, excellence, and the pursuit of growth. It is precisely this attitude that connects the bank with the world of polo and with the Ascona Polo Cup.
Independent since 1958
PKB Private Bank is the independent Swiss private bank with a single goal: to enable its clients to grow, realize themselves, and thrive. It is part of a group founded in 1958, with roots in the history of a family of textile entrepreneurs – and which today, with the same pioneering spirit, accompanies entrepreneurs on their path to growth and success.
With a constant pursuit of excellence and innovation, every relationship becomes an opportunity for growth. The goal: to use all expertise and experience to ensure that every member of the community thrives – clients, employees, and partners. Independent in spirit, always seeking the best.
A spirit that connects: Bank and Polo
This very spirit connects PKB with the fascinating world of polo. Polo stands for passion, precision, trust, and true team spirit – values that also shape the bank's daily work. Against the extraordinary backdrop of Ascona, between the lake and the mountains, the Ascona Polo Cup offers a very special atmosphere where the dynamism of the sport, elegance, and the joy of encounters merge into an unforgettable experience.
Back on the field
Last year, PKB expressed its connection to polo by sponsoring its own team. This year, the bank draws on this valuable experience and returns to the field with passion and determination. PKB is happy to meet personally those seeking tailor-made wealth solutions and private banking services that open up new opportunities.
