Northern Trust Named Best Private Bank in the United States for 15th Time
Firm also wins for family offices and ultra-high-net-worth clients
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Northern Trust won top honors in three categories at the 2026 Global Private Banking Awards, presented by Professional Wealth Management and The Banker magazines, publications of the Financial Times Group:
- Best Private Bank – United States
- Best Private Bank for Family Offices – United States
- Best Private Bank for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Clients – United States
Northern Trust is now a 15-time winner of Best Private Bank in the United States. Professional Wealth Management Editor-in-Chief Yuri Bender cited Northern Trust’s consistency in serving wealthy clients.
According to Bender: “Northern Trust’s expertise in managing the assets, expectations and business affairs of its wealthy client base was key to the judges’ deliberations regarding the highly competitive US private banking market. Combining expertise in technology, alternatives and working with family offices to create a cross-disciplinary offering, Northern Trust provides a consistent service across the US patchwork of regions with different demands.”
The family office and ultra-high-net-worth recognitions highlight Northern Trust’s work with families facing different levels of wealth complexity.
Northern Trust’s Global Family Office group has advised wealthy families for more than 40 years, helping them manage investments, business interests and financial affairs that often span multiple generations and jurisdictions. Its expertise extends to private markets, succession planning and family governance, including helping families establish how decisions are made and responsibilities are shared among generations.
For families whose wealth calls for that level of coordination, but who don’t have a dedicated family office, Northern Trust offers Family Office Solutions. A dedicated team works alongside families’ existing advisors to integrate investments, estate planning, reporting and other personalized services. The approach can be particularly valuable following a business sale, when families must make decisions about investing, transferring wealth and establishing future plans.
“The financial lives of wealthy families rarely get simpler. Our job is to understand how changes affect the entire family, not just the portfolio,” Northern Trust Wealth Management President Jason Tyler said. “What I’m most proud of is the confidence our clients place in our people. They expect us to understand their circumstances, challenge their thinking when appropriate and deliver advice that stands the test of time. That’s a responsibility that we take seriously.”
Northern Trust accepted the awards at an event in London on November 5.
