Creating sustainable value
Read more about our integration of Credit Suisse and what it means for you.
As of 12 June 2023, we have formally acquired Credit Suisse, less than three months after discussions about combining the two banks were started by the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Swiss National Bank. The transaction marks an exciting and challenging new chapter in our history, which has seen more than 370 financial institutions combine to form what UBS is today, as well as for Switzerland and the global financial industry.
As we move swiftly to integrate Credit Suisse, we’re focused on creating a smooth and transparent transition for all involved. This web page is your go-to source for all the latest information related to the integration. We’ll be updating this page regularly to help you stay informed about the integration and what it means for you.
We are now one Swiss global firm and, together, we are stronger. As we start to operate the consolidated banking group, our top priority remains the same: to serve our clients with excellence.

The Parent Bank Merger is the legal merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, whereby UBS AG is the surviving entity and Credit Suisse AG ceases to exist. By merging Credit Suisse AG with UBS AG, Credit Suisse AG’s businesses will transfer to UBS AG. Following the merger, UBS intends to consolidate its operational processes over time. Therefore, there will be a transitional period during which there’ll be two sets of operational infrastructure.
In December 2023, UBS announced that following the merger of the holding companies UBS Group AG and CS Group AG on 12 June 2023, the Board of Directors of UBS Group AG approved the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG. With the consent of their respective board of directors, both entities have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The completion of the merger is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to occur by the end of 2Q24. We also expect to transition to a single US intermediate holding company in 2Q24 and complete the planned merger of UBS Switzerland AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG in 3Q24.
Further updates related to the Parent Bank Merger will be provided over time when and if they happen.
