The Swiss banking system is based on the concept of universal banking, whereby all banks can offer all banking services, including loans, asset management, investment advice, payment transactions, deposits (savings accounts, etc.), securities (stock exchange transactions), underwriting business (issuing of bonds), and financial analysis.

The advantage of universal banking is the ability to spread risk over a greater number of banking businesses and customers from all sectors of the economy. Nevertheless, the system has seen the development of different bank groups that have come to specialize in certain areas.
