Asian investors have filed claims against Switzerland, asserting that the country violated its investment treaty obligations by fully writing down Credit Suisse's AT1 bonds. The claimants argue that this action has adversely affected their investments.
Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV) reported its second-best financial year, achieving a profit of 441 million CHF, despite a 6% decline from the previous year. The bank's mortgage business grew by 8%, while personnel costs rose due to cybersecurity investments. The Canton of Vaud will receive 286 million CHF in dividends and taxes from BCV in 2024.
UBS has discontinued two ATM services following its acquisition of Credit Suisse: the Cardless Cash feature, which allowed cardless transactions via QR codes, and automated coin deposits. Customers now face higher fees for coin deposits and must package coins themselves for manual deposits, reflecting a broader trend of reducing ATM services in Switzerland as cash usage declines. The full integration of Credit Suisse's banking services into UBS is expected to be completed by early 2026.
Banque cantonale vaudoise reported a decline in net interest income by 7% to CHF 554 million, while fee and commission income rose by 9% to CHF 369 million. The bank experienced an 8% increase in its mortgage business, benefiting from strong demand and the market shift following Credit Suisse's exit. Operating expenses rose by 3%, leading to a distribution of CHF 286 million to the canton of Vaud.
Bank of America has rapidly doubled its workforce in Switzerland, aiming to capture market share from UBS following recent upheavals in the Swiss banking sector.

The St.Gallen Textile Museum faces a costly renovation of 48 million Swiss francs at its current site, while city parliamentarian Gallus Hufenus proposes relocating it to the vacant Credit Suisse building to save costs and enhance urban development. The city council, however, supports the museum's renovation plans and dismisses the relocation idea, citing previous evaluations that deemed the bank building unsuitable for museum use. Hufenus criticizes this stance as a "missed opportunity" for revitalizing Broderbrunnen Square.
Zurich has transformed from a banking hub to a vibrant tech center, attracting innovative companies while facing challenges like rising housing costs. Mayor Corine Mauch emphasizes the city's commitment to maintaining social diversity through active housing policies and increasing nonprofit housing.
