The story
Lombard Odier is a centuries-old Swiss private bank that has remained a partnership. Its notable embedded-finance angle is the externalization of its proprietary wealth management platform (G2) as a BPO and technology service sold to other financial institutions, effectively becoming a banking infrastructure provider alongside its core private banking franchise. The bank has also selectively adopted third-party fintech infrastructure—notably SmartTrade's LiquidityFX—for FX trading services.
