Background<\/h3>\n

Alongside the historic private banks, UBS and regional institutions such as the cantonal bank, Migros Bank or Raiffeisen, foreign banks make up a significant part of the Swiss financial centre. Their weight is particularly pronounced in Geneva. The disappearance of Credit Suisse has changed the balance of the sector.<\/p>\n

In Geneva, one banking institution in three<\/strong> belongs to a foreign group, compared with one in five in Zurich, according to the Tribune de Gen\u00e8ve. A survey by the BAK Economics institute, published on Tuesday 10 November 2026, polls around a hundred companies on their presence in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

According to this survey, the complementary role of foreign banks has grown in importance since the disappearance of Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n
