About Baloise Bank AG

Baloise Bank AG is a Swiss retail and SME bank affiliated with the Baloise insurance group and supervised by FINMA, operating under Swiss banking law with deposits protected up to CHF 100,000 per client through esisuisse. The bank focuses on everyday banking and lending in Switzerland, offering current and savings accounts, payment services, debit and credit cards, domestic and cross-border transfers, and online and mobile banking with standard two‑factor authentication. Lending is centered on Swiss franc mortgages, typically available as fixed‑rate or SARON‑linked products, alongside basic personal loans and Lombard lending tied to custody assets. Investment and retirement services cover custody accounts, brokerage for listed securities, access to funds and model portfolios, and tax‑advantaged Swiss pension solutions (pillar 3a and vested benefits), often aligned with the broader Baloise product set. For businesses, the bank provides operating accounts, payment processing, liquidity management and standard credit facilities for SMEs, with a footprint concentrated in German‑speaking Switzerland and a limited international reach. Pricing follows common Swiss market practice, with account and card fees, foreign‑currency and cash withdrawal charges, custody and transaction fees, and mortgage arrangement and early‑repayment costs disclosed in published tariffs; interest rates and conditions vary by product and client profile. Onboarding requires Swiss KYC/AML documentation, with availability of products generally limited to residents and to permitted cross‑border frameworks. The offering suits clients seeking straightforward domestic banking, mortgages and integrated banking‑insurance arrangements, while larger corporates and clients needing complex capital markets or extensive international services may find the platform more limited.
