ARYA Banque Privée: A New Chapter Built on Deep-Rooted Values and Long-Term Performance

S.P. Hinduja Banque Privée today announces the launch of ARYA Banque Privée.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- S.P. Hinduja Banque Privée today announces the launch of ARYA Banque Privée, marking a new chapter for its banking business under new executive leadership designed for growth.

The transformation is designed to strengthen the Bank for future generations while preserving the values, relationships and personal approach that clients have come to trust. Enduring institutions balance continuity with renewal; ARYA preserves what has always defined the bank while constantly evolving its capabilities and services to meet the needs of clients in a changing world.

"ARYA is a reflection of what we believe matters most: integrity in how we act, trust in the relationships we build and a deep commitment to the people and families we serve. This new chapter carries our heritage forward while creating a strong foundation for future generations."
- Dr. Shanu S.P. Hinduja, Chairwoman of the Board

The name comes from an ancient Sanskrit word for honour, integrity and noble conduct — the standard by which the Bank serves its clients: with discipline, discretion and a long-term view. It reflects an institution that pairs Swiss rigour with an international perspective and a deep understanding of entrepreneurial families. This commitment to continuity and long-term thinking lies at the heart of the transition to ARYA.

A Shared Vision

A distinguished entrepreneurial family has joined the bank in this new chapter. Nirmal Sethia, the entrepreneur and philanthropist, has become a minority shareholder, bringing a family enterprise built across generations and the conviction that institutions of this kind are built patiently.

Strengthening the Institution

The launch is accompanied by the appointment of a new Executive Committee. Dr. Pascal Botteron joins as Chief Executive Officer, bringing extensive experience in Swiss private banking, most recently from Cité Gestion. He is joined by Boris Chave as Chief Operating Officer, and Sébastien Micotti as Head of Legal. Together they will lead the execution of the Bank's new business plan and the next phase of its growth.

"ARYA will give its clients access to leading-edge investment products, unique opportunities and co-investments. Our ambition is to bring an entrepreneurial, product-led approach to Swiss private banking, and to innovate in our industry with the same spirit that built our shareholders’ businesses over generations."
- Dr. Pascal Botteron, CEO

This leadership team brings together extensive experience across private banking, investment management, legal and compliance, operations and technology. Working under the Board of Directors' governance, its mandate is to support ARYA's long-term development while maintaining the principles that have defined the institution throughout its history. The Board welcomes the new leadership team and is confident in its ability to advance ARYA's vision of serving clients with the excellence, care and long-term commitment that have always defined the bank.

Built for the Future

ARYA's strategy places the product offering at the centre of the Bank's development, delivered with a service experience that pairs modern technology with the personal relationship at the heart of Swiss private banking. Rather than leading with scale ambitions, the Bank is systematically rebuilding its platform around what clients actually require:

Tailor-made, personal service. Every relationship is built around the client: a dedicated senior banker, solutions structured to individual circumstances rather than standard segments, and decisions taken close to the client – the defining promise of a true private banking house.

Curated investment access. Discretionary and advisory mandates, tailored structured solutions, and selectively curated private markets opportunities – including access to leading private technology companies through dedicated structures.

A modern operating platform. Modernised core systems, disciplined risk and compliance infrastructure, and a refined client experience – intelligent tools, transparent reporting and round-the-clock access, always in service of the relationship – engineered for reliability and built to scale with the franchise.

Global clients. The Board's deep relationships within the global Indian diaspora give the Bank a distinctive edge with one of the world's fastest-growing wealth pools.

Continuity for Clients and Staff

While ARYA marks the beginning of a new chapter, the values that have guided the bank remain unchanged.

For existing clients, there is no operational change. Relationship teams, service standards and day-to-day banking relationships remain firmly in place. The Bank’s staff and locations will also remain unchanged. Continuity, discretion and personalised service continue to be central to the bank's approach.

The new brand identity will be rolled out in phases, ensuring a seamless transition across all client and corporate touchpoints.

ARYA's ambition is to deepen trusted client relationships, expand opportunities responsibly and build a lasting institution for generations to come.
