BANK PROFILE · Switzerland

Pictet & Cie

Banque Pictet & Cie SA

Pictet & Cie is the Swiss bank of the Pictet Group, headquartered in Carouge and rooted in the Geneva partnership founded in 1805. It provides private wealth management and institutional asset services, including discretionary and advisory mandates, execution, custody, private assets, Lombard lending, wealth planning and fund services. The Swiss bank does not publish a public banking tariff, relationship minimum or exact product-currency list, so none is inferred from other Pictet entities or foreign branches.

03 · WHAT IT COSTS

Published pricing.

Not publicly disclosed

Pictet & Cie does not publish a banking tariff. Figures circulating on comparison sites are not confirmed by the bank, so none are shown here. Under Swiss FinSA and EU MiFID II rules the bank must give you a full costs-and-charges breakdown before a mandate begins — request that document directly.
