About Bank Thalwil Genossenschaft

Bank Thalwil Genossenschaft is a Swiss cooperative regional bank based in Thalwil (Canton of Zurich) that focuses on households and small to mid-sized enterprises in the Zimmerberg/left Lake Zurich area. Its offering covers everyday banking (current and savings accounts in CHF and selected foreign currencies, debit and credit cards, domestic SIC and SEPA payments), mortgage lending (fixed, SARON-linked and variable structures with standard Swiss amortization and loan-to-value practices), SME financing and cash management, investment advisory and discretionary mandates with custody and brokerage, and retirement solutions such as pillar 3a and vested-benefits accounts. Services are delivered through a local branch footprint, e-banking and a mobile app with two-factor authentication; customer service is primarily in German, and certain products require in-person identification in line with Swiss KYC rules. Pricing is set out in a published tariff schedule and typically includes account/package fees, card charges, custody and brokerage commissions, and transaction costs; mortgage conditions depend on term, collateral quality and client risk profile. As a cooperative, ownership lies with members who exercise voting rights at the general assembly; the bank is not publicly listed. The institution is supervised by FINMA and participates in the Swiss deposit insurance scheme (esisuisse), which protects eligible deposits up to CHF 100,000 per client per bank. The balance sheet profile of a regional cooperative bank is generally concentrated in residential mortgages funded by customer deposits, creating interest rate and local real estate concentration risks that are addressed through regulatory capital and liquidity requirements disclosed in Pillar 3 reports. The business focus is domestic, with cross-border onboarding and services restricted by policy and regulation. Prospective clients should review the latest terms, fees, digital capabilities and any eligibility restrictions on the bank’s website before applying.
