Legend:

  • Commercial banks

    The Association of Swiss Commercial and Investment Banks was founded on January 30, 1981, with the purpose of:

    • acting as an interlocutor in matters of banking policy;
    • defending the common interests of its members within the governing bodies and commissions of the Swiss Bankers Association;
    • participating in the political debate.

    There are 30 member banks whose interests are protected by the Association, with 11,000 employees (1/10 of all the bank employees in Switzerland).

    Association may include any commercial bank and banks specializing in security transactions and wealth management, mostly Swiss and incorporated under Swiss (or Liechtenstein) law, provided they are also members of the Swiss Bankers Association. The Association is represented on the Board of Directors of the Swiss Bankers Association and its Executive Board. It also participates in 45 other bodies active in the banking sector.

    The Association's representatives try to ensure that the regulatory environment is compatible with the needs of small and medium-sized banks, and they make every effort to create framework conditions allowing commercial and management banks to operate successfully.

    Legal status: Private joint-stock company.

    Geographic scope of activities: mainly domestic.
