Banque CIC (Suisse): a bank with a long history. As a Swiss bank that has been in business since 1909, we place our trust in the traditional values of the Swiss banking industry. With 100 years experience at our head office in the cosmopolitan city of Basel coupled with the backing of CIC (Crédit Industriel et Commercial), which is integrated with the Crédit Mutuel Group, Bank CIC (Switzerland) offers all the services of a Swiss universal bank.
