About us

SWISS FINANCE COUNCIL AT A GLANCE

Established in 2013, the Swiss Finance Council engages in dialogue around policy developments in finance at a European and international level. We articulate and advocate the interests of internationally active Swiss financial institutions towards the EU institutions and support an integrated Single Market that can contribute to the creation of a strong, open and globally competitive European financial sector. We act as a platform to share experience, expertise and knowledge through a permanent representative office in Brussels. 

The Swiss Finance Council focuses on issues of relevance to international financial institutions that are high on the EU’s policy agenda. These include, amongst others, Banking and Prudential Regulation, Banking Union, Capital Markets Union (in particular Market Access), Sustainable and Digital Finance, Data Protection, Cybersecurity, Taxation, and Anti-Money Laundering.

The Swiss Finance Council strives for a strong cooperation between the European Union and Switzerland and fosters regulatory dialogue across borders. As a financial services industry association representing global players based in Switzerland, we advocate for a strong, competitive, global and well-functioning European financial sector.

Peter Derendinger

Developing and enhancing the attractiveness of financial markets for consumers, investors and service providers is what we are committed to. The Swiss Finance Council is a member of the European Parliamentary Financial Services Forum (EPFSF) and registered in the EU Transparency Register.
