Much is expected of the institutions that we bank at. For good reason.
From loans to checking and savings accounts, IRA’s and units to store our valuables, banks have allowed us to sleep at night without one eye open.
We prefer that they continue to open our eyes to great financial opportunities that are developing around the world that could enhance our portfolios and guide us to the good life.
There are banks and then there are stellar banks.
Bank of the West appears to be the latter.
Bank of the West is a regional financial services company, headquartered in San Francisco, California.
It is a subsidiary of BNP Paribas. It has more than 600 branches and offices in the Midwest and Western United States.
BNP Paribas S.A. is a French international banking group. It is the world’s 8th largest bank by total assets, and currently operates with a presence in 72 countries.
At their home bankofthewest.com they speak about their ability to help you invest, “Take a hands-on approach and implement your investing ideas with confidence using our intuitive trading tools and comprehensive third-party research.
With our advanced platform, it’s possible to access the same actionable insights and metrics typically available to only high-net-worth and institutional investors. In addition, you can track your portfolio’s performance against industry benchmarks at the sector and asset class level, as well as fine-tune risk levels, allocations, and investment decisions based on detailed “what-if” scenarios.”
There certainly are a lot of what if scenarios out there. We’d love to change “what if”, to we did it.
Bank of the West can help with that.
They add, “When you become a Bank of the West Wealth Management client, you can count on us to be with you every step of your financial journey. It all starts with your dedicated Primary Advisor, who’ll take the time to learn about where you’ve been and where you want to go, laying the foundation for a relationship you can rely on today—and for years to come.”
We love successful long term relationships.
The bank has also been exceptional at empowering women and advancing their careers. The world has seen that. The world is making a note of that.
