Finance
Scroll
Zurich's financial history is characterised by growth and innovation, establishing it as a leading global financial centre. Today, the economy is anchored by banks, insurers and a top-ranked FinTech scene. 2026, the sector continues to account for one in ten regional jobs and one in six francs of value added, with insurance emerging as a primary growth driver. Although the historic merger of Credit Suisse into UBS has resulted in recent structural consolidation and transitions in the banking sector, its overall value creation remains more dynamic than that of the broader economy. Zurich continues to lead the way through innovation and its long-standing commitment to sustainable financial products.
