Basel Bankers Association

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Basler Bankenvereinigung (BBVg) is the branch association of banks located in north-western Switzerland . The association, which was founded in 1918, represents the interests of its stakeholders such as bank customers, young professionals and bank employees.

Most of the banks operating in the region ( Basel-Stadt , Basel-Landschaft , Fricktal and Thierstein / Dorneck) are members of the Basel Banking Association. For almost 100 years, the association was domiciled at UBS or its predecessor bank, the Bankverein. In 2014 the office was transferred to the Basel Chamber of Commerce . The current president of the Basler Bankenvereinigung is John Häfelfinger, CEO of Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank . The Presidium usually changes after three years between a major bank, a cantonal bank and a private bank. The BBVg is operationally managed by managing director Patrick Huber.
