Eoghain (Owen) Murphy

Spear’s Review

Head of Barclays’ private banking operation in Ireland, Eoghain (Owen) Murphy has spent almost two decades at the bank championing private banking services in Ireland and Europe, while also helping to protect and grow the wealth of a number of UHNW private individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs

After the 2016 Brexit referendum, Barclays moved much of its European operations from London to Dublin, changing Murphy’s work considerably. 

‘When I joined the bank, we had four people covering Irish clients. Now, we have over 60 people covering European clients. There are around 13 different nationalities here speaking 10 different languages,’ he tells Spear’s

Today, he counts clients from Portugal to Greece among his book, assisting them in accessing the breadth of private banking and investment solutions offered through the firm’s global network.
