CBH acquires the activities of FIBI Bank (Switzerland)

CBH Bank is pleased to introduce the latest addition to the Helveticard family of cards: the Visa Virtual Card. Developed entirely by CBH’s product development team as part of the Bank’s ongoing digitalization strategy, the card is now available on CBH Online Banking.

The new Virtual Card offers an environmentally friendly and secure payment method. The immaterial nature of a virtual card means it cannot be stolen or misplaced, and all production and delivery emissions are avoided. In addition, the card is instantly available for order, can be loaded and used straightaway online and in-store, and can be linked to any of your favorite e-wallets.

Geneva and Zurich, 19 December 2016 – CBH Compagnie Bancaire Helvétique SA (« CBH Bank ») is pleased to announce the acquisition of the private banking activities of FIBI Bank (Switzerland) Ltd (« FIBI Bank ») which is headquartered in Zurich. The transaction covers all of FIBI Bank clients.
