=Banking Information=

Switzerland is well known for it's banking sector. In theory, you can choose between several banks which all have branches in most of the villages in Central Switzerland.

Nevertheless, one big disadvantage local banks have is that they offer the correspondence and the e-banking platform only in german.

Credit Suisse or UBS, the two big players on the market, offer everything in English. This is the main reason, why most of the ISZL faculty staff have their bank accounts with one of these two banks.

Post Finance is also a good option. They have excellent e-banking in English and the post office in Zug is open until 18:30 and also on Saturdays. Credit Suisse and UBS have 'normal' banking hours and will mostly be only open when you are at work. Most international bank transfers with Post Finance cost 2.00 CHF (Swiss Francs). One down side is their debit card which has a 3000 CHF monthly limit for payments in shops, but you can take out cash at ATMs or over the counter with no charge too.
