HISTORY
Banque Heritage is a Swiss private bank with headquarters in Geneva, regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). In Uruguay, we are an institution with more than 30 years of existence and a solid track record.
Banque Heritage Uruguay was founded in 1981 as "Surinvest Casa Bancaria" and in 1991 it was licensed to act as a Bank. At that date, the block of shares was composed of 6 major financial institutions (IFC, Rabobank, HSBC, Wachovia, BICE and Unibanco). In 2007, Banque Heritage Switzerland acquires part of the Bank, an acquisition that was finalized in June 2010 when it acquired the whole block of shares and became the Bank`s only shareholder.
In 2011 Banco Surinvest S.A. went through a significant change of name process and was renamed Banque Heritage (Uruguay) S.A. In December, 2013, Banque Heritage Uruguay acquires the consumer and corporate banking businesses of Lloyds TSB Uruguay.
Banque Heritage Switzerland has diversified its activities by creating Banque Heritage Uruguay as a “Swiss” Private Banking transaction, capitalizing on the extensive Wealth Management experience of Banque Heritage Switzerland.
Banque Heritage Uruguay has consolidated in the region as an independent financial institution, combining an in-depth knowledge of the local financial markets with the support of a global stockholder.
The Bank specializes in Corporate and Private Banking, and offers its services to natural and legal persons that seek to develop a long-term business relationship while they benefit from world-class financial products and services.
The activities of the Bank are carried out in its headquarters and in two branches located in the city of Montevideo, under the supervision of the Central Bank of Uruguay. (www.bcu.gub.uy) The integrated control system adopted by the Bank guarantees that all transactions are executed within the highest degree of security and trust.
