Once again Kathrein receives prestigious award from the British finance magazine Euromoney

Kathrein's high quality standards were rewarded once again in a public forum: in the Private Banking Survey conducted by British finance magazine "Euromoney" and published in its February 2012 issue, Kathrein was recognized as the institution with the best private banking services in Austria ("Best Pri- vate Banking Services By Country Austria Range of investment products"). What makes this award so special: votes are cast by peers.

The finance magazine "Euromoney" has awarded quality scores to private banks in 60 countries since 2004 and each year presents a winner with the "Euromoney Private Banking Award". The quality of service in various service segments is evaluated and each country receives a detailed ranking. For objective results "Euromoney" has chosen an unusual method: private banks and investment advisors are asked to nominate their leading peers in the respective categories. The winner of a category is the institution with the most nominations in that particular category.

"As one of the most renowned Austrian private banks we are proud that the Euromoney survey has honored our customer service in particular, because excellent service for our customers and except- ional relationships with our customer are our utmost priority in financially difficult times", says Kathrein chairman Christoph Krause about the award. Kathrein will continue to follow this tried and trusted course in the future, says Kraus.
