WHO WE ARE
​
Our story :
All stories have a beginning. Our history began in 1815 . Since then, we have experienced some turbulent periods, during which we have always sought to create stability for our customers. And today, almost 208 years later, our strategy is towards continuity, stability and sustainability for the lasting benefit of our customers .
​
History has taught us the importance of this way of thinking. Ensuring the long-term prosperity of customers requires protecting the interests of future generations .
As a private and independent "multi-boutique company" , we have the advantage of being able to plan for the long term, without bias. Since 1815, ancestors have passed down knowledge, experience and values from generation to generation.
Ownership :
The Americas Bancor & Trust, Inc. is an independent "multi-boutique company", organised as a partnership. Our group is wholly owned by its managing partners. They are not just part owners; they manage our business and are directly involved in looking after clients.
In some cases, they represent the fourth and fifth generations of their families at The Americas Bancor & Trust, Inc., giving us stability and continuity. We continue to live by the core values on which we were founded: excellence, innovation, respect, integrity and one team.
Our partnership model allows us to plot a steady, considered course. Generational transitions in the partnership take place over decades. We are inherently prudent. We never chase the fad of the moment and in a turbulent ever-changing world, we offer stability .
Who we are :
At The Americas Bancor & Trust, Inc., our mission is to be a "multi-boutique company" and the private advisor to entrepreneurs and their families, municipalities and governments. Not just today, but for the long-term. Generation after generation. We aspire to be the innovative "multi-boutique company" of choice for private and institutional clients seeking a personalized and sustainable approach to merchant and investment banking services . By creating sustainable value for our clients through innovative investment solutions, our vision is to become the leading independent sustainable investing firm.
Founded in 2017, we have grown stronger through the crisis caused by the "covid 19" epidemic, not by standing still and waiting for it to pass, but re-evaluating. We are constantly rethinking the world around us to provide a different investment perspective for our clients.
Our "multi-boutique company" is solid and strongly capitalised, with a highly liquid balance sheet and conservatively invested. Our capital ratio is acceptable to our regulators and we are not dependent on external sources of debt.

Our mission is to build strong long lasting client partnerships based on expertise, trust and care. We are not generalists: we do a few things very well. Everything is underpinned by our "rethink everything" approach. At a time when many are opting for industrialised and standardised offerings within private and investment banking system, we believe in personal relationships. We are specialists and bespoke solution providers: advisors not sellers. Our sole activity is to serve our clients, providing a holistic approach to help them achieve their goals.
Innovation is one of our core values and it’s all about creativity and boldness. As entrepreneurs, we are bold in our vision and daring in the ideas we generate to achieve it. We believe in human relationships, powered by cutting-edge technology, and that state of the art technology is at the heart of successful solutions. For 208 years, our forefathers invested in technology and we now operate a single global infrastructure that provides clients with a secure and powerful tool for financial, investment and business management .
As a privately owned "multi-boutique company", we’re free from market pressures and external public shareholders looking for ever-improving quarterly results . Instead, we are solely dedicated to clients: their interests are our own, and we can focus on serving them for the long term .
