Stanbic Bank Ghana has reinforced its position in Ghana’s private banking market following Standard Bank Group’s recognition as Africa’s Best Private Bank at the Euromoney Private Banking Awards 2026.
The award marks the second consecutive year that Standard Bank Group, the parent company of Stanbic Bank Ghana, has secured the continental title, reflecting its continued leadership in wealth management, investment advisory and private banking services across Africa.
The Group also received honours in several key categories, including 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 leading wealth management institutions.
The Euromoney Private Banking Awards are regarded as one of the most respected benchmarks in the global wealth management industry, recognising institutions that demonstrate excellence in client service, innovation, strategic growth and advisory capabilities.
For Stanbic Bank Ghana, the recognition underscores the strength of its private banking proposition at a time when wealth preservation, succession planning and investment management are becoming increasingly important for affluent individuals, entrepreneurs, business leaders and families.
The bank said the award highlights its ability to combine local market expertise with the resources and investment capabilities of Africa’s largest bank by assets, enabling clients to access tailored financial solutions and opportunities across local, regional and international markets.
Commenting on the achievement, Darwin Mireku, Acting Head of Personal and Private Banking at Stanbic Bank Ghana, said effective wealth management requires more than navigating 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 stated.
Mr Mireku noted that Stanbic Private Banking differentiates itself through a blend of personalised relationship management and the strength of a leading pan-African banking 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,” he added.
Stanbic Bank Ghana has continued to expand its private banking services through tailored wealth management solutions, investment advisory support, estate and succession planning, as well as access to opportunities available through Standard Bank Group’s extensive African and global network.
The latest recognition adds to a growing list of accolades for the bank’s private banking division. Earlier this year, Stanbic Bank Ghana received the Excellence in Private Banking Award at the Innovation & Excellence Awards 2026, held during the 25th edition of the Connected Banking Summit West Africa in Accra.
The bank believes Ghana’s evolving economic landscape presents both wealth creation and preservation opportunities, making professional wealth advisory services increasingly relevant.
With growing demand for bespoke financial solutions among high-net-worth individuals and business leaders, Stanbic Bank Ghana says it remains committed to helping clients build, preserve and transfer wealth while securing long-term financial legacies for future generations.
Stanbic Bank Ghana, a subsidiary of Standard Bank Group, has operated in the country for more than 26 years and remains one of Ghana’s leading tier-one financial institutions. Through the Group’s presence across 20 African markets and its strategic partnership with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the bank offers clients access to global markets, trade finance solutions and cross-border investment opportunities.
