WHO WE ARE
About Turicum
Welcome to Turicum Private Bank
Established in Gibraltar in 1993, Turicum Private Bank was founded by Swiss private bankers, lawyers and asset management professionals. Our vision was not only to build a private bank tailored to the needs of private clients, but also for independent asset managers, family offices, trusts, foundations, and investment funds. Turicum was created with the aim of serving a wide range of financial structures operating in a multi-jurisdictional context, offering them clear guidance across governance, compliance and risk management.
A legacy of expertise
This foundation has shaped Turicum’s distinctive capabilities in risk management, legal, and regulatory compliance. We are equipped to serve private clients and business with heightened transparency requirements or operating in regulated sectors. From supporting family offices to working with firms in innovative industries such as distributed ledger technology, we apply Swiss-style private banking principles to deliver efficient, secure, and compliant solutions.
A trusted partnership for growth
Turicum is a privately owned bank led by second generation members of its founding families. This long-term committed ownership provides stability and enables us to grow alongside our clients, building lasting relationships grounded in trust, continuity, and shared ambition.
‘Turicum’ is the Latin name for Zurich, given by the Romans in 15 BC. It reflects the Bank’s origins and enduring commitment to Swiss-style private banking.
Our headquarters are proudly based in Gibraltar, a jurisdiction valued for its recognised financial stability and favourable business environment.
Our close ties to Zurich are maintained by our Representative Office being based in one of the world’s leading financial centres.
