Swiss Bankers Association supports targeted reforms but says “no” to wave of regulation and extreme solutions

Zurich, 26 September 2025 – In its response to the planned amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance and the “parameters” for a package of legislation presented by the Federal Council on 6 June 2025, the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) welcomes the aim of further strengthening the stability of the financial centre. It supports action on specific lessons learned from the Credit Suisse crisis, such as improving the provision of liquidity and setting out clear responsibilities, but it rejects a wave of regulation affecting the entire industry, extreme solutions and an approach that is at odds with international norms. The SBA stresses that the right balance must be struck between system stability and competitiveness to bolster Switzerland’s standing as a business and finance hub instead of weakening it.

Credit Suisse and “banking stability”: a measured approach, please! 

At the start of June, the Federal Council published its comprehensive package of banking stability measures, containing almost 30 proposals to tighten regulation.

Several weeks ago, three national banking regulators in the US issued a joint statement intended to provide further clarification on banks’ activities in connection with digital assets. Stephan Zimmermann, General Counsel at Sygnum Bank, spoke to Andrea Luca Aerni, Digital Finance Policy Advisor at the SBA, about how Swiss banks have been meeting these requirements for a long time already, why the Swiss regulatory framework is seen as robust compared with those of other countries and the challenges that still remain.
