“It was important for us to maintain our presence at the heart of French-speaking Switzerland’s financial hub. Geneva remains a key centre for our clients, our teams and our future development,” Lionel Pilloud, head of French-speaking Switzerland for the bank, said in a statement. 

The new offices, covering nearly 900 square metres, have been redesigned (in collaboration with interior architecture firm Von Pettersdorff).



BIL Switzerland currently employs around 120 people across Geneva, Zurich and Lugano, including around 25 people in Geneva. 

Rachel Fokes, director of global events and awards for WealthBriefing, joined the recent opening ceremony in Geneva.
