Bank of Valletta has officially inaugurated its new Investment Centre on Tower Road in Tas-Sliema. This new Centre, which has been relocated from Gżira, reflects the Bank’s ongoing commitment to improve its investment services and provide customers with a modern, accessible, and customer‑focused environment.

The new state-of-the-art premises were inaugurated during an official opening ceremony presided over by Bank of Valletta Chairperson Dr Gordon Cordina and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Farrugia. In their remarks, both emphasised that, since their launch in 2012, BOV’s Investment Centres have been instrumental to the Bank’s growth and continued development. This approach reflects the Bank’s commitment to be customer-centric and to provide its customers with personal attention in a refreshed environment conducive to the highest level of personalised banking.

BOV CEO, Kenneth Farrugia, remarked, “The Sliema Investment Centre has been designed to provide an improved experience for customers seeking personalised investment advice and specialised financial solutions, including a growing suite of sustainable investment options that support long‑term value creation. In developing this new centre, we also gave careful consideration to the use of environmentally responsible materials, reflecting our commitment to operate in a more sustainable manner. We continue transforming our customer service experience to ensure we remain relevant to the requirements of our customers, irrespective of their lifecycle stage.”

Dr Gordon Cordina, BOV Chairperson, echoed the CEO’s remarks, adding that “2026 marks a foundational year that will shape the Bank for the coming years. Every decision the Bank makes today is an investment in a future where we’ll work to remain strong, relevant, and innovative.”

The Sliema Investment Centre, which serves around 8,000 customers, was inaugurated in the presence of Chief Personal and Wealth Officer Simon Azzopardi, Chief Operations Officer Ernest Agius, the Manager of the Sliema Investment Centre Sharon Pollacco and the Head of Prestige Client Network Roberta Bellizzi.

Besides the Sliema Investment Centre, Bank of Valletta operates four other Investment Centres located in Bir id-Deheb, Mosta, Gozo and Ħal Qormi. The Qormi Investment Centre has been temporarily relocated to Marsa due to refurbishment works. Every Centre is staffed by a dedicated team of qualified investment advisers, supported by a specialised team within Wealth Management, ensuring they receive timely market insights and trend analysis to deliver informed, strategic advice to clients.
