About Zuger Kantonalbank

Zuger Kantonalbank is the cantonal bank of the Canton of Zug in Switzerland, operating as a regional universal bank with a focus on retail, SME, and private banking. It provides current and savings accounts, debit and credit cards, domestic and cross-border payments (including SEPA), e-bills and QR-bill processing, and mobile and online banking with two-factor authentication and TWINT support. Lending activities include residential and commercial mortgages (fixed-rate and SARON-linked), SME and corporate credit, and financing for local real estate projects; investment services cover custody, brokerage, discretionary and advisory mandates, fund solutions, and Swiss pillar 3a retirement products. The bank is licensed in Switzerland and supervised by FINMA and the Swiss National Bank, participates in the esisuisse deposit protection scheme (up to CHF 100,000 per client per bank), and publishes audited annual and interim financial statements with risk, capital, and liquidity disclosures under applicable Swiss regulations. Its loan book and client base are concentrated in the canton and surrounding region, reflecting its mandate and branch/ATM network in Zug, while digital channels extend access nationally; eligibility, onboarding, and cross-border services are subject to Swiss KYC/AML rules and international regulations (including restrictions for certain non-residents and U.S. persons). Pricing is set by published tariffs that vary by product and service package (e.g., account maintenance, cards, payments, custody, and advisory fees), and mortgage rates depend on term, collateral, and client risk profile. The Canton of Zug holds a controlling stake in the bank, with the remainder owned by other shareholders, and corporate governance, compensation, and risk management frameworks are set out in its annual reporting and cantonal bank law.
