Vontobel Wealth Management has announced the launch of its secure Mobile Private Banking app for clients domiciled in China and Hong Kong. The app provides clients with around-the-clock access to their portfolio and wealth management services using smartphone and tablet devices.

The Mobile Private Banking App was initially launched in the Swiss home market in February, 2015. Vontobel’s unique state-of-the-art technology platform has enabled a fast global rollout of the app just months after the initial launch. Vontobel will gradually implement additional functions across its Mobile Private Banking app in Asia, such the ability to trade securities, and more.

Vontobel’s Mobile Private Banking app went live in October, 2015, in China and Hong Kong and will initially provide clients with a live view of their portfolio and executed transactions, up-to-date stock exchange quotes, a detailed asset analysis and the ability to speak live to their relationship manager through encrypted instant messaging.

Alex Fung, CEO of Vontobel Wealth Management in Asia, said, “Vontobel fully embraces the significant benefits technology can bring to clients and our business. The launch of our Mobile Private Banking enables us to go even further in servicing our clients’ wealth management needs in Asia by meeting their increasing requirement to access information on-the-move.”
