Coutts, the UK private bank which is part of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, has confirmed the departure of relationship manager Nathalie Dauriac-Stoebe. In addition, Claudia Giger has left RBS Coutts, the international sister private bank of Coutts.

While Ms Dauriac-Stoebe’s next role is as yet unknown, Ms Giger has been hired by Schroders Private Banking for a Switzerland-based role.

In other recent moves from Coutts, in August Barclays Wealth recruited Alan Edwards to take up the role of regional centre head for Leeds and Manchester.

Mr Edwards previously spent three and a half years at Coutts, first as senior manager leading the private bank’s Leeds and Newcastle offices and most recently as client partner responsible for Leeds.
