Accessibility. Making our services accessible to everyone.

Simple tasks like taking cash out of an ATM, getting a personal consultation, or banking online can be a challenge if you have visual, hearing, or mobility impairments. Our aim is to make banking as accessible as possible. Including with the help of trained employees.

Accessible Banking Services.

Access to our products and services should be as easy as possible for all our clients. Credit Suisse therefore aims to provide the highest level of accessibility for people with vision, hearing and mobility impairments. This applies to its branches as well as its ATMs, web pages, online banking, account statements, and advisory process. To enable Credit Suisse to offer all its clients a service that is tailored to them and their needs – including when dealing with people with disabilities – we provide our employees with continuous training to raise their awareness of related issues.

The Easy Way to User-friendly Banking

It is important to us to provide our clients with easy access to our branches and ATMs. For this reason Credit Suisse has been applying comprehensive standards for new and renovated buildings since 2008 in order to make them accessible to disabled and elderly clients.

Access to our branches and counters is designed so that people with limited mobility do not encounter any obstacles. Credit Suisse is also gradually adapting its ATMs as part of branch renovations to provide accessibility.

For further information, see our list of modified ATMs.

Review Your Transactions: Point by Point

We offer bank statements in large print (15dpi) to clients with limited vision. This service is available for short-form account statements, itemized account statements, standard account statements, and daily statements. In addition to this free service, our clients continue to receive their normal account statements.

We Speak to All Our Clients – Even with the Help of Sign Language and Inductive Hearing Loop Systems

Clients with hearing impairments have the option to have a sign language interpreter present at personal consultations twice a year, free of charge. In this way, Credit Suisse aims to ensure that we take the concerns of people with hearing impairments seriously and are able to give them the best possible advice.

We provide mobile inductive hearing loop systems in the lobby of every branch also for personal consultations with clients who have hearing difficulties. People with such an impairment can conduct a discreet and confidential conversation with counter staff and client advisors using a hearing device or cochlear implant (CI), but also without such an aid (i.e. with the help of the listener).

Clients with hearing impairments are pointed to the service by means of a pictogram at the entrance as well as at the counter.

Information for Clients with Hearing Impairments by Phone

Clients with hearing impairments can obtain information from Credit Suisse and conduct simple transactions by phone through the use of an intermediary from the Procom Foundation. The client authorizes the intermediary to put the query to Credit Suisse and to inform him or her of the response afterwards. This makes it possible to query an account balance or order paying-in slips, for example. Clients can request this service at any branch.

Accessibility Is Important – Particularly over the Internet and in Online Banking

Credit Suisse's current online offering has been made as accessible as possible in accordance with national and international standards. This means that thanks to technical tools such as screen readers and large-font software, people with visual impairments can use our online services to the widest possible extent. Moreover, Credit Suisse's websites and applications have been implemented in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) wherever possible, in order to offer all clients the greatest possible user-friendliness.
