A fully digital wealth management service will be launched inside the app in mid-November. Credit Suisse will be taking its first step into the digital banking market, where challenger banks have gained millions of customers using the appeal of cheaper foreign exchange services and freedom to spend across borders. The Swiss bank is in the middle of closing roughly a quarter of its branches to cut costs, instead hoping to bring in new customers by developing a stronger online presence. The remaining branches will undergo a partial revamp, with “digital bars” offering one-to-one sessions with specialists via video conferencing and “event zones” to attract startups.
