Timeline

2009

Banque Havilland obtained a banking license in Luxembourg in 2009.[2] David Rowland and his son Jonathan achieved this by obtaining the good bank of the failed Kaupthing Bank Luxembourg via their investment company Blackfish Capital. The bad bank was renamed Pillar Securitisation, for which Havilland acted as administrator.[3]

2012-2015

It opened its first overseas entity in Monaco by acquiring Dexia Private Bank S.A.M. from Dexia Banque Internationale à Luxembourg in 2012.[4] A year later, in 2013, it launched its London branch[5] and acquired a majority stake in Banque Pasche (Liechtenstein) AG and 100% of shares in Pasche Bank & Trust Limited forming two new subsidiaries Banque Havilland (Liechtenstein) AG[6] and Banque Havilland (Bahamas) Ltd.[7]

2016

In 2016, Banque Havilland acquired Banque Pasche S.A. in Switzerland allowing it to start operating in Switzerland, both in Geneva and Zurich.[8] Moreover, through its acquisition of Banco Popolare Luxembourg S.A. from Banco Popolare, the bank extended its services to institutional clients.[9]

2017

In November 2017, leaked emails showed that Yousef Al Otaiba, ambassador of the United Arab Emirats in the United States , allegedly had hired Banque Havilland to draw up a plan on how to start a financial war against Qatar.[10] Since 5 June 2017, several countries abruptly cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar for their alleged support for terrorism.

Locations

Banque Havilland is currently headquartered in Luxembourg and has offices in the United Kingdom, Monaco, Liechtenstein, the Bahamas, Dubai and Switzerland.[11]
