Last September, the bank launched its Rethink Everything campaign as a nod to the fact that the world’s challenges require new solutions: the challenges of creating a digital business, of attracting millennials, of being a responsible business and of engaging clients around issues like globalization and climate change.
Last year, the bank upgraded its mobile and web-based client platform, as well as deepening its commitment to digital through a strategic partnership with French technology incubator France Digitale and board representation at the Swiss Fintech Innovations Group.
In 2001, the bank had the foresight to create a third line of business alongside private banking and asset management – providing back-office infrastructure and technology solutions to third parties, be those clients, family offices or other private banks and independent asset managers.
