Services

Private banking, in the original sense.

Continental Bank offers the institutional services a principal needs to oversee wealth quietly: custody, treasury, multi-currency accounts, discretionary and advisory mandates, and the coordination that makes them work together.

Service lines

Six lines of service, one relationship.

Wealth oversight

Discretionary & advisory mandates

Discretionary mandates managed by Geneva for principals who want time back, and advisory relationships for those who want to retain the decision. Mandates are reviewed quarterly with the principal.

Custody

Multi-currency custody

USD, EUR, and GBP portfolios held independently, with custody at top-tier counterparties. Each portfolio is reconciled monthly and audited annually.

Family office

Family office services

Coordinated administration for principals with residences, holdings, and obligations on multiple continents — including liaison with appointed counsel, accountants, and trustees.

Treasury

Treasury & liquidity management

Active management of operating liquidity for clients running businesses, family offices, or foundations. Daily reporting; dual-officer authorisation above mandate thresholds.

Cross-border

Cross-border coordination

Geneva, London, Luxembourg, Singapore, Dubai, and New York — one client, one ledger, one banker. Local cover during European hours through our regional desks.

Reporting

Bespoke reporting & analytics

Monthly statements, quarterly mandate reviews, annual tax summaries, and bespoke reporting on request — delivered to your secure file vault.

Mandates
