The location at Froburgstrasse 1 has been closed, and Private Banking brought together with the private and corporate client business under one roof at Froburgstrasse 15. Moreover, the branch will be implementing a new service concept with regard to the way in which clients are received and cared for, the objective being to offer them advice that is even more personalized and individual in its nature. The branch in Olten will be hosting an open day on March 29, 2008. Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:30:00 +0100 Private Banking http://www.credit-suisse.com:80/news/en/media_release.jsp?ns=40707 A central position within the Berne/Basel/Zurich triangle, as well as good integration into the Swiss railroad and highway infrastructure, are undisputed locational trump cards of the Olten-Zofingen conurbation. Despite the region's high potential in residential terms, it has not yet succeeded in generating high population growth. The below-average representation and modest increase of the income-relevant age categories will lead to a low level of income development in the next few years. As far as its economic structure is concerned, however, the region has a solid basis. Its locational advantage in terms of accessibility is exploited by various sectors - among them transportation and logistics. The medium-term growth prospects for value creation are therefore positive.

Clients can enjoy the services of experienced client advisors, as well as a self-service zone with cash dispensers. Another novelty is the customer service concept, which offers clients more personalized advice of greater individual variety. On March 18, 2008, Credit Suisse is organizing an opening event with various attractions - including, for example, an autograph-signing session with Köbi Kuhn, the coach of the Swiss national football team.
