Bank Syz head of private banking Nicolas Syz said: “Latin America is an area of historical significance to our Group and we wish to be closer to our clients, both geographically and relationally.

Currently, Bank Syz operates four offices in Switzerland as well as representative offices in Istanbul, Turkey and Johannesburg, South Africa.

In addition, Syz Group plans to increase its reach in Latam in upcoming years through the purchase of new partners.
