Institutional Partnerships

Entrepreneurship is the foundation of today's Westend Bank. As entrepreneurs, we value the benefits of strategic partnerships and work flexibly with other financial service providers, law firms and consultants. With our many years of experience in customized financing solutions, we are ideally positioned to offer you and your clients added value.

Private banks, asset managers, independent financial advisors, family offices, law firms and strategy consultants work with us to master the following challenges:

  • Expanding the product range
  • Innovative financing solutions
  • Generating liquidity

Reliability and trust

Reliable values form the basis for sustainable joint success. We know the value of trust and protect the confidentiality of your client relationships. Our sound due diligence processes give you the certainty that your customers' financial situation will be carefully and comprehensively analyzed and that joint solutions will be developed.

Our focus is on the customer, and our approach allows us to provide comprehensive and individual support. We therefore combine the advantages of a boutique provider with a comprehensive financing portfolio. We do not manage assets and are not a competitor, but a partner that complements your services. As experts in the markets in which we operate, we offer tailor-made solutions that meet the individual needs and objectives of your clients.
