ONE Swiss Bank SA is a publicly traded private bank and wealth management firm based in Geneva. One Swiss Bank specializes in private banking and tailored asset & wealth management. It provides its services to private and institutional clients across Switzerland and the world. The bank was founded in 2004 by Bénédict Hentsch. Hentsch's bank changed its name to GS Banque in 2014 and merged with Banque Profil de Gestion and Banca Arner, forming One Swiss Bank in 2021. The firm currently has CHF 5.3 billion of assets under management. One Swiss Bank was born from the merger between GS Banque (Geneva Swiss Bank), founded in 2004 by Robert Pennone and Bénédict Hentsch, (then under the name Banque Bénédict Hentsch & Cie) and Banca Arner, founded in 1984 by Giovanni Giacomo Schräemli and Paolo del Bue. The Hentsch family are some of oldest and most renowned bankers in Switzerland and Europe, having founded Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch & Cie in 1798. In June 2021, Banque Profil de Gestion, founded in 1964 in Geneva under the name Société Financière Privée and One Swiss Bank merged. They decided to continue operating under the name One Swiss Bank and renamed the resultant sub branch Dynagest. One Swiss Bank opened its Dubai wealth management offices in the Fall of 2021, known as One Swiss Private Wealth. The board appointed Zafar Khan as the head of One Swiss Bank's Emirates division. One Swiss Bank was founded in 2004 by Bénédict Hentsch among others, who represents the seventh generation in a dynasty of one of Europe's most prominent banking families. The Genevoise line of the Hentsch family emigrated to Switzerland in the 18th century from the Protestant and Culturally German part of Poland. The line can trace itself directly back to the stockbrocker and financier Henri Hentsch. In 1789, the finance trade in Geneva was heavily influenced by the onslaught of the French Revolution. In 1793, Henri Hentsch was detained by Genevan revolutionaries and exiled to Nyon, where he began a silk trading business with an associate, Edmé Mémo.
