People are what make private banking and wealth management. PBI therefore gives out two very special people awards every year: The Rising Star for Asia-Pacific and Outstanding Young Private Bankers. Here are the winners.
Rising Star for Asia-Pacific
Echo Bi, DBS Bank

PBI recognised Echo Bi’s talent two years ago when we presented her with an ‘Outstanding Young Private Banker’ award.
Access deeper industry intelligence
Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
Since then, in her role as a senior private bank relationship manager at DBS, Bi has developed a truly pan-Asian career, managing UHNWI clients in Mainland China, portfolios in Taiwan and family offices in Singapore.
Outstanding Young Private Banker
Nicknamed the “30 under 30 for private banking” the award for Outstanding Young Private Banker always sees the highest number of entries of any of our categories.
These are also some of the most important of Private Banker International’s entire award series.

These are individuals that will go on to reshape private banking for our modern world:
