Private bank

Private banks are banks owned by either the individual or a general partner(s) with limited partner(s).

In any such case, creditors can look to both the "entirety of the bank's assets" as well as the entirety of the sole-proprietor's/general-partners' assets.

Private banks have a long tradition in Switzerland, dating back to at least the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685).

Private banks also have a long tradition in the UK where C. Hoare & Co. has been in business since 1672.

This list contains two types of banks:

Schwäbische Bank (now part of M.M.Warburg)
Rosenthal and Rosenthal private bank
