Performance teams, expanded corporate customer business and a new regional structure: Bethmann Bank is realigning its wealth management. A spokeswoman for the bank confirms to private banking magazin that the project, which is being promoted internally under the name “Client Service Model”, is proactively preparing for the changed German wealth management market.
This primarily affects the regional organization of wealth management. While business with wealthy customers was previously handled solely via the individual branches, the locations will be bundled into five additional regional units in future. In the regional units themselves, performance teams are formed in which, according to a spokeswoman, four to six employees are put together “deliberately heterogeneously” to offer the customer all competencies from a single source and to be able to spend as much time as possible on customer contact.
New Bethmann structure in wealth management: regions instead of branches
The old branches in Bremen, Hanover and Berlin can be found in the North region. The unit is led by Patric Wilhelm and Michael Gröger. Matthias Wesseling and Jens Ennenbach manage the western region with the branches in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Dortmund. The Munich, Nuremberg and Würzburg branches are merged into the Bavarian region managed by Jürgen Müller and Manfred Richtarsky.
The location in Hamburg will in future be managed as a separate region by Torsten Hein and Jörg Finck. The southwest region is already active in the new organizational structure. Thomas Henk and Markus Heilig are in charge of the new unit, having previously been branch managers in Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Mannheim.
