Adam & Company is one of Scotland’s leading private banks and was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by a group of influential Scottish business people who were committed to the core values of a traditional Scottish banking service, one where the client and personal service is at the core of everything. A tradition that is still very much upheld in Adam & Company today.
Edinburgh is often referred as the birthplace of Scottish Enlightenment, and one of the leading lights of that era, Adam Smith, published ‘An inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations’ in 1776 which revolutionised economic theory. Adam & Company was named after this leading figure of the time.
The Bank's headquarters are in Edinburgh and they have offices across mainland UK and the Channel Islands that serve UK and International clients[1].
Adam and Company has 6 offices in Edinburgh (HO), Glasgow, Aberdeen, Manchester and London plus the Adam International business in Guernsey. Detailed contact and direction information is available on the company website.
