History

On May 23, 1949, Kredietbank Luxembourg officially became a registered bank in the Grand Duchy and opened its doors a few months later.

In the early days, KBL had only five employees on its payroll, including the CEO, Constant Franssens.

Since its founding, KBL epb has continued to expand across Europe through organic and inorganic growth. Its offerings have increased as well to include, for example, global investor services, life insurance and credit.

In January 2020 KBL epb was renamed Quintet Private Bank.

Ownership

Quintet Private Bank is owned by Luxembourg incorporated holding company Precision Capital. Precision Capital banking group was supervised by European Central Bank directly due to its size.[11] KBLs sister bank Banque Internationale à Luxembourg was sold by Precision Capital in 2017 to Lenovo.

Precision Capital by House of Al Thani of Qatar holds 99.9% [12]of Quintet Private Bank.[13] It was reported that Precision Capital is owned by Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, former Prime Minister of Qatar[14] and a distant relative of the Emir of Qatar.
