[1] Bank of America Private Bank was awarded “Best Private Bank in North America” and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management was recognized for “Best Use of Technology in Wealth Management” by The Digital Banker’s Global Private Banking Innovation Awards. Shortlisted nominees were selected on the qualitative and quantitative depth of their nominations. Shortlisted institutions or individuals per category, were put to our impartial panel of expert judges who undertook a rigorous audit type process to carefully select the winners.
