Swiss Life and bank zweiplus have signed a cooperation agreement for the Swiss market. This will enable Swiss Life to extend its range of savings and investment products and replace the former platform operated through Banca del Gottardo. The cooperation is due to begin on 1 October.
Swiss Life aims to reinforce its services to customers shortly before or after their retirement, a time when their need for financial security and suitable investments is particularly pronounced. To do so, it is extending its range of savings and investment products and is set to cooperate with bank zweiplus in Switzerland. bank zweiplus, a joint venture of Bank Sarasin and AIG Private Bank, is a custodian bank specialising in settlement services. It will assume the administration and settlement of Swiss Life’s savings and investment products in the Swiss market. Besides enabling Swiss Life to extend its range of services, the cooperation allows the company to replace the platform for savings and investment products it formerly operated through Banca del Gottardo. As before, the products will be distributed by Swiss Life’s own sales organisation under the Swiss Life brand. The cooperation will begin on 1 October 2008.
Paul Müller, CEO Switzerland at Swiss Life: “The cooperation with bank zweiplus presents us with an ideal platform to again expand our range of financial products.”
The roughly 30 000 holders of a Swiss Life savings and investment product will be informed of the forthcoming change of custodian bank in good time. bank zweiplus will continue to manage their accounts at the same conditions as before.
