History and Development
The roots of acrevis Bank AG can be traced back to three regional banks founded in the 19th century: Bank CA St. Gallen , the savings bank Bütschwil and the savings bank Gossau.
The Bank CA St. Gallen was founded in 1854 and is the oldest of the three banks. The Bütschwil savings bank, founded in 1876, merged with the Gossau savings bank, founded in 1881, to form Swissregiobank .
In December 2010 the merger of the two banks was announced. The merger agreement was signed on July 12, 2011. On September 23 of the same year, the final merger took place with the approval of the shareholders of both companies to merge on September 26, 2011.
In 2013, the banking business of Sparkasse Trogen (cooperative) and Sparkasse Wiesendangen (public law institution) was taken over. The acquisitions were made by taking over assets and liabilities with subsequent liquidation of the Sparkasse. The Sparkasse Trogen was previously the smallest bank in Switzerland. After the acquisition, there were no more branches in Trogen. In contrast, the business premises of Sparkasse Wiesendangen were taken over and converted into an office of acrevis Bank AG.

Business areas and projects
Acrevis Bank AG specializes mainly in investment advice , asset management and the financing of private real estate as well as in commercial business with SMEs , businesses and the self-employed.
In 2015 the bank launched the “acrevis spectrum” advisory and investment model. The product was a response to the changes in private banking in Switzerland and thus to the persistent low interest rates and the ever-changing regulatory requirements. In 2018, the bank introduced the online asset management tool “acrevis invest online”.
As part of the bank's digitization strategy, a hybrid branch concept with video advice was opened in Rapperswil-Jona in 2018 under the motto “Counter of the future”. In the employeeless customer hall at the reception desk, the customer is received by an employee via video and then served in a separate meeting room on the digital switching using video advice. The customer advisors work from the studio in St. Gallen. When talking to the customer, specialist departments that are not on site can be called in. The project was implemented in cooperation with the Swisscom Video Consulting Solution .
