Zürcher Kantonalbank offering Swiss Abroad a fairer deal

It is often a challenge for Swiss Abroad to maintain a bank account in Switzerland. The Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) has been trying for years to make things easier in this regard. It has now entered into a new partnership with Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) to deliver a range of attractive banking terms for Swiss Abroad, with effect from 1 January 2023. This is the OSA’s second partnership with a bank, following the one it entered into with Banque Cantonale de Genève in 2017.

ZKB will offer Swiss Abroad similar banking services to those it offers Swiss who live in Switzerland. “We have already been assisting expatriate Swiss for years,” says Reto Jäger, Regional Head Private Banking International at ZKB. “There is no minimum amount to open an account, we offer a wide range of services and we have people with outstanding expertise.” Jäger calls the partnership with the OSA a “milestone” and firmly believes that ZKB will be able to further its reputation among Swiss Abroad as a reliable partner.
