“Can Latin America's largest private bank build a global, cloud-native wealth-and-spend platform for UHNW clients who live between LATAM, the US, and Europe?”
Itaú Private Bank is the offshore private-banking arm of Itaú Unibanco, Latin America's largest private financial institution, serving LATAM UHNW clients through hubs in Miami (Banco Itaú International), Zurich, Nassau, and Luxembourg/Portugal (Itaú BBA Europe). Its recent embedded-finance move was the 2022 launch of Itaú Global Wallet — a multi-currency Mastercard-branded card/wallet built on Rêv Worldwide's issuing platform — which extends private-banking accounts into a spend-anywhere digital product for internationally mobile clients. The Zurich subsidiary has emphasized digital transformation, publicly citing that it runs its core banking system in the cloud.
