NAB Private Wealth has been named the Best Private Bank in Australia for the fifth consecutive year at the prestigious World’s Best Private Bank Awards.
The Global Finance accolade recognises NAB Private Wealth’s commitment to excellence in private banking and expertise servicing high-net worth client needs through specialised wealth management services.
NAB Private Wealth Executive Michael Saadie said the award’s focus on excellence in client service reflected the same emphasis NAB Private Wealth gave to every aspect of a client’s experience.
“We have the most comprehensive and differentiated offering in the Australian market. It spans private banking within NAB Private Wealth, specialised investment advice provided through JBWere Australia’s oldest and largest advisory firm and our investment specialists and the unique capabilities of self-directed investment platform nabtrade,” Mr Saadie said.
“This award recognises our commitment to excellence and our comprehensive offering for clients over a sustained period of time.”
“We have a 1000+ strong team of professionals across wealth advisory, private banking and investment services. They’re committed to supporting clients, understanding them and their ambitions. We combine this expertise with products and services designed to meet their needs.
“I believe our commitment to putting our client at the heart of everything we do every day is the difference that’s seen NAB Private Wealth now recognised as Australia’s most awarded private bank.”
In announcing the award, Global Finance detailed the qualities that distinguished NAB Private Wealth from its peers.
“Success in private banking today requires more than strong investment performance — it depends on a nuanced understanding of clients’ unique aspirations,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder of Global Finance.
“This years Private Bank Awards honorees excel at combining cutting-edge digital resources and data-driven personalisation with the human touch of expert advisers who can guide high-net-worth clients through complex cross-border, multi-generational wealth challenges.”
NAB Private Wealth will officially receive the award alongside other global winners at a ceremony in February 2026.
