Raiffeisen Privatbank Liechtenstein AG

Raiffeisen Privatbank Liechtenstein AG was a private bank based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. It operated for more than two decades as a wealth-management and private-banking institution, serving private clients in Liechtenstein and neighbouring markets. The bank was originally associated with the Raiffeisen banking tradition, and its name reflected that heritage. At some point it was renamed Mason Privatbank Liechtenstein AG, indicating a change of ownership or branding away from the Raiffeisen name. The bank's later history was defined by its voluntary liquidation. On 12 March 2021, at an extraordinary general meeting, the shareholder of Mason Privatbank Liechtenstein AG (formerly Raiffeisen Privatbank Liechtenstein AG) resolved to place the bank into voluntary liquidation. The liquidation was announced publicly on 15 March 2021. PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH and Walpart Trust Registered were appointed as co-liquidators. On 30 June 2022, Walpart Trust Registered was replaced as co-liquidator by Dr. Hannes Mähr. The liquidation process progressed through the wind-down of client assets and banking operations. By 31 August 2023, the co-liquidators announced that the bank had entered archive mode: the return of client assets held at MPL had been completed, the electronic banking systems and other bank and client data had been archived, and the bank no longer employed any staff. All enquiries, requests for documents, statements or records from the banking systems were to be made in writing to Mason Privatbank Liechtenstein AG i.L., Austrasse 51, 9490 Vaduz, Principality of Liechtenstein, or by email to info@mason-privatbank.li. Identity and legitimacy checks would be carried out before any request was executed, and retrieval and re-delivery of documents from the MPL archives would only be carried out against advance payment based on the last applicable MPL fee schedule. The bank is therefore defunct as an operating institution, with only a residual liquidation and archival function remaining. Its website continues to serve as an information point for former clients and counterparties regarding the liquidation and archive process.

Raiffeisen Privatbank Liechtenstein AG was a private bank headquartered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. It operated for more than 20 years as a private banking institution, according to the bank's own liquidation notice, which stated that the bank had been successfully serving its private clients for more than two decades. The bank's original name linked it to the Raiffeisen banking tradition, a cooperative banking model with deep roots in Austria and Liechtenstein. At some point the bank was renamed Mason Privatbank Liechtenstein AG. The exact date and circumstances of the rebranding are not specified in the available evidence, but the change of name indicates a change in ownership or corporate identity away from the Raiffeisen name. Under the Mason name, the bank continued its private banking and wealth management activities. The bank's final chapter began on 12 March 2021, when at an extraordinary general meeting the shareholder of Mason Privatbank Liechtenstein AG (formerly Raiffeisen Privatbank Liechtenstein AG) resolved to place the bank into voluntary liquidation. The decision was publicly announced on 15 March 2021. PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH and Walpart Trust Registered were appointed as co-liquidators to handle the winding-up of the bank. On 30 June 2022, Walpart Trust Registered was replaced as co-liquidator by Dr. Hannes Mähr. The liquidation proceeded over the following years. By 31 August 2023, the co-liquidators announced that the bank had entered archive mode. The return of client assets held at MPL had been completed, the electronic banking systems and other bank and client data had been archived, and the bank no longer employed any staff. All enquiries, requests for documents, statements or records from the banking systems were to be made in writing to Mason Privatbank Liechtenstein AG i.L., Austrasse 51, 9490 Vaduz, Principality of Liechtenstein, or by email to info@mason-privatbank.li. Identity and legitimacy checks would be carried out before any request was executed, and retrieval and re-delivery of documents from the MPL archives would only be carried out against advance payment based on the last applicable MPL fee schedule. The bank is therefore defunct as an operating institution, with only a residual liquidation and archival function remaining. Its website continues to serve as an information point for former clients and counterparties regarding the liquidation and archive process.
