Jeremy Knowland

Spear’s Review

Jeremy Knowland has been looking after UHNW clients at Citi Private Bank since 2005. As managing director and head of the bank’s UK and Jersey operations, he is responsible for some of the bank’s most lucrative clients, all of whom have a minimum of $25 million of liquidity. 

‘We can link our UK clients with the US or with any jurisdiction across the world if needed. We can deliver that in a seamless way where others may struggle,’ he tells Spear’s. Knowland’s professional approach has sought to emulate the bank’s ethos – ‘to offer highly personalised attention to our clients’ needs’, all while encouraging innovation and transformation. 

The two-time Spear’s Awards nominee takes great pride in Citi’s capability to adapt to change and continue to serve clients through turbulent market conditions. And with Citi dealing with its own turbulence – CEO Jane Fraser is under pressure to simplify the bank’s labyrinthine corporate structure and steer its turnaround – Knowland is a key cog in the bank during a pivotal period.
