Our founder

about-chs

FlowBank is an online bank headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The story of FlowBank begins with its founder and CEO Charles Henri Sabet.

A world backgammon champion and tennis player in his youth Charles-Henri Sabet’s passion for strategic games is the precursor to the creation of FlowBank. The story began in 1991, Charles Henri Sabet started to manage money for a few friends in foreign exchange that eventually expanded and led to a banking license in 1999. It was during this time that the technology which enabled retail investors to place trades online began gaining traction in the US.

The turning point came in 2004 when Charles Henri Sabet decided to reorganize his bank to focus on online trading. Renamed Synthesis, it was the first bank to offer online foreign exchange trading to retail clients. The success of Synthesis Bank led to its sale to Saxo Bank in 2007.
Nine months later, Charles Henri Sabet, acquired an online trading platform based in London and the Bahamas.

His global vision of connecting people to global markets is what led to the creation of FlowBank. Since the launch of FlowBank in 2020, the team, headquartered in Geneva, has grown to over 100 people.
