Stanbic Bank Ghana has reaffirmed its position as a leading private banking institution in Ghana following Standard Bank Group’s recognition as Africa’s Best Private Bank at the prestigious Euromoney Private Banking Awards 2026.
The award marks the second consecutive year that Standard Bank Group, the parent company of Stanbic Bank Ghana, has received the continental honour, highlighting its continued excellence in private banking, wealth management and advisory services across Africa. The Group also received top honours for Africa’s Best for Family Office Services, Africa’s Best for High-Net-Worth Clients and Africa’s Best for Next-Gen, further cementing its reputation as one of the continent’s premier wealth management institutions.
The Euromoney Private Banking Awards are widely regarded as one of the industry’s most respected benchmarks, recognising financial institutions that excel in client service, innovation, strategic growth and wealth advisory. The 2026 awards recognised Standard Bank Wealth and Investment as Africa’s Best Private Bank and honoured its leadership across several specialist categories.
According to Stanbic Bank Ghana, the recognition demonstrates the value it delivers to affluent individuals, entrepreneurs, business leaders and families seeking personalised financial solutions to preserve, grow and transfer wealth across generations.
Commenting on the achievement, Acting Head of Personal and Private Banking at Stanbic Bank Ghana, Darwin Mireku, said the greatest threat to wealth is often inadequate planning rather than market volatility.
“The greatest risk to wealth is often not market volatility, but missed opportunities and inadequate planning. As wealth becomes more sophisticated, so too does the need for trusted advice, disciplined stewardship and long-term thinking. This recognition reflects our commitment to helping clients protect what they have built, capitalise on opportunities for growth and prepare future generations for success.”
He further explained that Stanbic Private Banking differentiates itself by combining personalised client relationships with the strength and continental reach of Standard Bank Group.
“What sets Stanbic Private Banking apart is our ability to combine highly personalised relationships with the strength of Africa’s leading banking group. Through our local expertise, continental reach and global connectivity, we help clients navigate complexity, access opportunities and preserve their legacy with confidence.”
Stanbic Bank Ghana continues to expand its private banking proposition through tailored wealth management, investment advisory services, estate and succession planning, as well as access to regional and international investment opportunities made possible by Standard Bank Group’s extensive African footprint.
The latest recognition follows another milestone for the bank after it received the Excellence in Private Banking Award at the Innovation & Excellence Awards 2026 during the 25th Connected Banking Summit West Africa held in Accra earlier this year.
With Ghana’s economy creating new opportunities for wealth creation and preservation, Stanbic Bank Ghana says it remains committed to supporting entrepreneurs, professionals, business owners and families with innovative financial solutions that help build lasting financial legacies.
