HLN Private Bank

The HLN Private Bank is a Brunanter bank specialized in private banking, wealth management, business finance, real estate, financial analysis and credit and structured finance. Based in Old Town Grijzestad, HLN is not listed on any stock exchange and is known for having large corporations and wealthy families and individuals among its clients.

History
The bank was founded in 1889 by Sebastien Neyt, Louis Harman and Willem van Liesneck, whom all come from wealthy banking families. Between the First and Second World Wars, the family HLN became extremely wealthy through the granting loans to both the Brunanter government and companies as well as to the German industry. From the 1950s on, the bank established itself as a private banking group for large companies and rich families.

In 2016, several clients and executives of the bank, including former CEO Alex Neyt, were named in the Panama Papers tax fraud leaks.

As of the 2024, the bank is still owned by the Neyt, Harman and van Liesneck families. HLN has several branches across Brunant, but in Geneva, London, Madrid and Turin as well.
