Spear's Review

Amir Sattar is a senior banker working from the Bank of Singapore’s London branch.

Sattar splits his time between managing his clients’ portfolios and growing their businesses via lending. In one example of the latter, Sattar completed the financing for artwork in the legacy room at one of London’s top private members’ clubs. 

He tells Spear’s that clients are at the heart of everything he does: ‘I treat them like family; I’m not a pushy person. Reputation is more important than anything.’

Prior to joining the Bank of Singapore, Sattar worked as a private banker at HSBC in Geneva, where he built an impressive client book comprising finance professionals, real estate businessmen and entrepreneurs. ‘It’s a lifetime relationship,’ he explains.
