EFG International's group of private banking businesses operates in around 40 locations worldwide, with more than 3,025 employees (as of 31 December 2023).

EFG (European Financial Group) International was formed in 1995 by Jean Pierre Cuoni, Lawrence D. Howell, Baron Corso von Habsburg, and several others.

Less than a year earlier, BTG Pactual had bought the Swiss bank from the Italian Generali for CHF 1.25 billion.

According to EFG and BSI plans, the deal will save them 185 million Swiss francs per year until 2019.

EFG Bank is headquartered in Zurich, and has branches and representative offices across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas and Middle East.
