The Swiss who live abroad will not denounce Postfinance that does not grant them the right to have a credit card. At the meeting in Bern today, the Council represents them (CSE) has decided to give priority to dialogue.
The association is still "acting against discrimination banking," it said in a statement. The banks "continue to put a spoke in the wheels of Swiss nationals who live abroad and wish to maintain a banking relationship with their country of origin." The CSE has instructed the Organization of the Swiss Abroad to propose solutions within the month of August.
Swiss Post has announced that, from September, it will introduce cash inpayments at the customer’s home in all communities which have only branches with partners. “This will enable private customers who prefer to make inpayments in cash to do so right on their doorstep,” said Swiss Post.
The company explained it has introduced this service because branches with partners “cannot offer cash payment transactions due to security requirements and the provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering Act”.
The Post continues the reduction of their traditional offices: from the existing 1,400 today, it will come down to a number between 800 and 900 by 2020. In a statement today, the yellow giant announced that 1,200 employees "may be affected by a change". There were however no planned layoffs.
Over the next four years, the company intends to continue the development of the network access points, taking them from the current 3,700 to at least 4,000. If possible, it will continue to focus on the format tested by years of agency or branch with partners.
