COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, Zweigniederlassung Zürich

COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, Zweigniederlassung Zürich is the Zurich branch of Commerzbank AG and operates in Switzerland as a branch of a foreign bank. It is subject to Swiss law for its Swiss-booked business and is supervised by FINMA as a branch, while the group is overseen by European authorities (ECB/SSM) and BaFin in Germany. The branch’s activity is geared to corporate and institutional clients, with a focus on cash and liquidity management, trade and export finance, guarantees and documentary business, corporate lending, foreign exchange and rates, and cross-border transaction services; it is not positioned as a Swiss retail outlet. Accounts and services are typically relationship-based and may involve minimum balance and documentation thresholds; onboarding is driven by Swiss AML/KYC requirements, including beneficial owner verification and cross-border compliance. Payments are handled in CHF and other major currencies through Swiss and European clearing infrastructures, with SWIFT used for international transfers, and electronic channels support corporate e-banking and host-to-host connectivity. Eligible deposits booked in Switzerland fall under the Swiss depositor protection scheme (esisuisse) up to CHF 100,000 per client, while non-Swiss-booked deposits are covered by the applicable home-country framework; unsecured liabilities may be subject to bail-in at the group level under European resolution rules, and a branch does not have standalone capital. At the group level, Commerzbank holds investment-grade credit ratings from major agencies; clients should monitor current disclosures, fee schedules, and booking arrangements directly with the bank.
