Added-Value Services
Falcon Private Bank is struggling with a cost base way above its earnings capacity. The bank was involved in the 1MBD scandal – with the alleged massive fraud at the Malaysian state fund. In 2016 the bank showed a loss of 128 mm CHF and in 2017 a loss of 28 mm CHF. The loss in 2016 was mainly a consequence of the liquidation of trading positions and investments. The loss in 2017, however, was mainly a matter of the ambitious strategy by the bank’s ex-bosses.
As a consequence of the scandal, Falcon Private Bank lost its banking license in Singapore. FINMA issued a fine, and the bank was forced to replace management and board and reinvent its strategy.
Falcon Private Bank broke with their past and after the management and board member changes, there effectively aren’t any more key people who have a link to the past. The intention is to create a completely new foundation for the bank.

We are a fully independent boutique law firm. That’s why we don’t have any cooperation agreements with the banks.
Few banks do not disclose their Annual Reports to the public. Therefore, we collected reliable information on a best-efforts basis. We renounced to collecting information from unreliable sources. Until today, Swiss law does not impose the duty of publication to the banks as it is the case in the EU. Therefore, for a few banks, the information from the annual reports was not summarized and published.
There are some smaller banks without a rating. It makes no sense for them to apply for a rating because they are not involved in the lending business. If the bank has no rating, it’s not automatically a negative point. There are excellent private banks without a rating.
