To maintain the trust of our stakeholders and to enable up to 2.6 million transactions per week to run smoothly, more than 150 people work daily on a functioning IT infrastructure and to ensure the necessary security. Together, we make the difference – in everyday life and in the digitalisation of our services.

With our IT solutions, we enable participation in an ecosystem in the Swiss financial sector. 
Our core solutions are based on a modern, scalable banking-as-a-service platform. We are connected to open banking and open finance platforms and integrate additional services as required. We take care of the regulatory aspects so that our customers can focus on their business.

We use APIs to integrate services directly into the products and customer journey. Alternatively, we develop target group-specific front-end portals and apps that support omnichannel strategies.
