Swiss Fintech Innovations Working Groups

Swiss Fintech Innovations is an initiative formed by Swiss banks and insurance companies to advance the fintech ecosystem in Switzerland. One of our main goals is to develop and implement solutions on topics of common interest in working groups. By working together on non-differentiating topics we shape relevant fintech topics and accelerate them in the organizations of our member companies. Our members can always participate in our work groups and open new work groups on topics of common interest.
