Fifth Third Private Bank Recognized as Best Private Bank by Global Finance for Sixth Consecutive Year

Fifth Third Private Bank, a division of Fifth Third Bank (NASDAQ: FITB), was named as a Best Private Bank (US, Regional) for the sixth consecutive year. In addition, the Private Bank was named Best Private Bank for Entrepreneurs (Globally) for the second year. The honors were announced by Global Finance for the 2025 World’s Best Private Bank Awards.

"Achieving excellence in wealth management goes beyond financial expertise. It requires a deep understanding of clients' unique aspirations and a commitment to delivering exceptional experiences,” said Kris Garrett, group regional president and head, wealth and asset management, Fifth Third Bank. "These awards reflect that dedication.”

Global Finance’s editorial board selected the winners for the Private Bank Awards with input from executives and industry insiders. The editors also use information from entries submitted by banks, in addition to independent research, to evaluate a series of objective and subjective factors. This year’s ratings were based on performance during the period covering July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

"These awards set the benchmark for excellence in the global wealth sector, and they showcase our consistent, unwavering responsibility to our clients,” said Joel Stone, managing director, national private bank, Fifth Third Bank. "We’re proud of our commitment to building deep, meaningful relationships through a consultative approach.”

Global Finance’s Private Bank Awards honor banks that best serve the specialized needs of high-net-worth individuals as they seek to enhance, preserve and pass on their wealth. The winners are not always the biggest institutions, but rather the best—those with qualities that individuals rate highly when choosing a provider.

"This year’s awards celebrate institutions that excel not only by navigating financial complexities but also by innovatively meeting the evolving expectations of today’s high-net-worth clients,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance.
