Banque Thaler SA
Origin of Banque Thaler SA
Banque Thaler SA has its origins in a wealth management company founded in 1982 and is based in Geneva. The bank has two branches, one in Zurich and one in Basel. Banque Thaler was formerly known as KBC Banque (Suisse) SA and changed its name in 2000.
In 1999 Banque Thaler was taken over by its management and a partnership of private and institutional investors.
In 2001 and 2003 the management and the private investors increased their stake in the bank to anchor it more firmly in Switzerland. Since that point, the bank is completely independent.

Philosophy and Strategy
The shareholder structure of Banque Thaler is atypical. The management and senior private bankers are shareholders of the bank, thus maintaining a true entrepreneurial spirit. Directly concerned by the future of the bank, they make every effort to control risks, act responsibly and demonstrate long-term commitment. The satisfaction of the bank’s customers is the key to the long-term sustainability of the organization.
Banque Thaler combines the seriousness of a recognized bank with the flexibility of a family office.
The bank deliberately chooses to remain a medium-sized bank, and this gives them an undeniable competitive added value, namely a rapid decision-making process, a great deal of flexibility in the processing of transactions, and finally an open relationship of trust between the bank’s executives and their clients.
This dynamic approach also allows Banque Thaler to adapt their investment strategy flexibly according to the situation of the financial markets, making their management mode reactive compared to the often static management of large institutions.

We are a fully independent boutique law firm. That’s why we don’t have any cooperation agreements with the banks.
Few banks do not disclose their Annual Reports to the public. Therefore, we collected reliable information on a best-efforts basis. We renounced to collecting information from unreliable sources. Until today, Swiss law does not impose the duty of publication to the banks as it is the case in the EU. Therefore, for a few banks, the information from the annual reports was not summarized and published.
There are some smaller banks without a rating. It makes no sense for them to apply for a rating because they are not involved in the lending business. If the bank has no rating, it’s not automatically a negative point. There are excellent private banks without a rating.
