Spear’s Review

David Batey heads up Coutts’ crown dependencies arm as an executive director and acts as a trusted adviser to a select portfolio of the bank’s UHNW clients. With over 35 years’ experience in the financial services industry, he also manages a team of private bankers and wealth managers across several jurisdictions ‘to deliver high levels of service’ to clients and ‘deliver ambitious growth targets’.

‘We are well versed in managing [offshore and international clients’] unique needs,’ Batey says. He is proud of the bank’s ability to offer a wide range of personalised solutions which are further strengthened by an ‘innovative digital banking platform’.

'We've been encouraging them to focus on their long-term objectives, and how we can help them with this and ensuring they are positioned to take advantage of opportunities that arise,' he says.
