The Bank
We founded Universal Banks to set a new standard in investment management: curated, comprehensive, simple-to-use—and fit for you, with the belief that we all get ahead when nobody gets left behind. We are here for the millions of who’ve long been ignored — or even taken advantage of — by traditional banks. We are rewiring the banking system to make money more approachable and to give consumers a more accessible and sustainable path to their goals. We offer banking services that are delivered over the internet, giving you the ability to do some or all of your banking on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Universal Banks Setting the New Standard in Wealth Management
It’s time for banking system management to come out of the stone age. Universal Banks is a private wealth experience — fit for you. There are some investors that truly stand apart from the rest — iconic names, prescient thinkers, and prolific researchers. We make it our job to find those investment partners, and work with them to make their funds available to you. We partner with investment firms to lower barriers to investing in alternative asset classes (like private real estate, private credit, and more), while also selectively developing our own proprietary products to help meet our clients’ needs. But all of that means nothing if the right mix and weight of these strategies don’t help meet your goals. Being a universalbanks client means being treated with personalized, high-touch support and targeted investing guidance that revolves around your needs and preferences. And finally, in a time when online investing content and anonymous “advice” forums abound, universal banks is a place for you to ask questions and get answers, straight from those managing your money. We aim to reimagine investing — from the very products that are available, to the client experience from beginning to end. Some elements of our offering may be familiar only to the wealthy few such as access to blue-chip investment partners and the new asset classes enabling additional ways to diversify and manage risk.
