Lombard Odier is one of the most prestigious and oldest private banks in Geneva. Founded in 1796, it is renowned for its values of excellence and personalized services. The bank attracts an international clientele seeking tailored solutions. Over time, its evolution has allowed it to innovate while preserving its expertise in wealth management.
Today marks a significant new chapter for Lombard Odier as it relocates to new, more modern offices to kick off the new year, designed to meet the new challenges it will face.
But this is not just a relocation. Beyond the logistical reorganization, it is a desire to adapt and innovate in an ever-evolving sector: private banking. This move is a crucial step for the institution and sends a strong message about the future of private banking in the city.
The new premises, located in the heart of the financial district, were designed to foster collaboration while also preserving privacy, which is essential in wealth management. In other words, it is a space where exchanges are more fluid without sacrificing discretion.
The Work Environment: A Key Leverage
In a profession where clients demand quick, personalized, and secure responses, the work environment plays a key role. This is what Lombard Odier offers: premises where teams can collaborate while respecting the need for confidentiality.
Geneva, a New Building
The building was designed by Swiss architects Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron, who have completed 600 projects across 40 countries in social, cultural, and entrepreneurial fields. This new site will bring together more than 2,000 employees who were previously spread across several offices.
Moreover, prioritizing sustainability, the bank has integrated the latest green technologies to reduce its environmental impact, with the goal of obtaining sustainable construction certifications.
Investing in the Future
Ultimately, this move is an investment in the future. It aims to provide employees with the best conditions to continue excelling in their field. More than just a physical space, these offices accelerate innovation while maintaining the core principles that define the bank’s reputation: discretion, bespoke service, and expertise.
With these new spaces, Lombard Odier aims to evolve without losing its identity. It is a positive message for the city of Geneva, as it reflects its role as a global financial hub capable of bridging tradition and modernity.
