Currie has joined from Coutts, having recently returned from a 12-month secondment as head of sales and business development for one of RBS’s operating subsidiaries in the US.
On Monday it was revealed that Stearn and Russell had departed Fairbairn Private Bank alongside former managing director of Fairbairn Trust Limited, Justin Thomas, to set up Affinity Private Wealth.
Two private bankers, Ben Stott and Julia Warrander also jumped ship to work at the new wealth management firm.
Greg Horton, managing director of Private Bank, said the firm was continuing to develop its UK presence and trying to raise the profile of its asset management offering in the UK.
"The UK is a very important market for Fairbairn Private Bank, and one where we see tremendous growth potential. This senior appointment demonstrates our commitment to continuing expansion within the UK," he added.
