  • A Primer on DOJ's Swiss Bank Program
    1012 Broad Street, 2nd Fl Bloomfield, NJ 07003 Tel (973) 783-7000 Fax (973) 338-3955 www.DeBlisLaw.com HIGH-STAKES TAX DEFENSE & COMPLEX CRIMINAL DEFENSE A Primer on DOJ’s Swiss Bank Program a. Background Information From the outside looking in, it is easy to accuse those who are unfamiliar with the Department of Justice’s Swiss Bank Program as living under a rock. But that is presumptuous when you are a tax attorney who is immersed in this work every day. Let’s begin with some background information. The Swiss Bank Program was unveiled on August 29, 2013. It provides a path for Swiss banks to resolve potential criminal liabilities in the United States. In order to participate, Swiss banks had to take the “bull by its horns” and notify the Department of Justice by December 31, 2013 that they had reason to believe that they had committed tax-related criminal crimes in connection with unreported U.S.-related accounts. In other words, they had to “eat crow.” Banks already under criminal investigation for shady banking activities (along with any individuals who work for such banks) were deemed ineligible from participating in the program. In order to be eligible for a non-prosecution agreement, banks must do the following: (1) Make a complete disclosure of their cross-border activities; (2) Provide detailed information on an account-by-account basis for accounts in which U.S. taxpayers have a direct or indirect interest; (3) Cooperate in treaty requests for account information; (4) Provide detailed information as to other banks that transferred funds into secret accounts or that accepted funds when secret accounts were closed; (5) Agree to close accounts of accountholders who fail to come into compliance with U.S.

  • Editorial Announcement
    SIX Management AG Editorial announcement Selnaustrasse 30 Postfach 1758 CH-8021 Zürich www.six-group.com 2 March 2016 Media Relations: T +41 58 399 2227 F +41 58 499 2710 [email protected] Pay using Paymit at some small merchants from today The first shops and restaurants now accept Paymit, the most used mobile payment app in Switzerland. The one-month pilot phase for the first Paymit solution for cashless, mobile payments is starting today. From today, you can use Paymit to make mobile and cashless payments in selected shops and restaurants. The new solution is particularly suitable for merchants and service providers that previously only accepted cash, such as small cafes, take-aways, market stalls or unstaffed points of sale. With Paymit, merchants and their customers have a simple, reliable option for cashless payments even if there is no card terminal. The pilot phase for merchants will run from now until the end of March 2016. Shop or restaurant owners that are interested can register from now via the website www.paymit.com. After SIX carries out a check, they receive a QR code as a sticker, which they can attach to their point of sale. To make a payment, the customer scans this QR code with his Paymit app, enters the amount and then pays. Mobile payments make cash handling far easier for smaller merchants. Domino’s Pizza, Dieci, Coppolini, Il Caffè and the Student Union (SHSG) of the University of St. Gallen are among the first pilot merchants. To activate the new merchant function, all Paymit apps from SIX, UBS, Zürcher Kantonalbank and Luzerner Kantonalbank are being updated.

Consequently, the likelihood of a downgrade is remote over the next two years, because, in the event of a moderate deterioration of GLKB's own creditworthiness, we would include additional support from the canton into our ratings, assuming everything else remained equal.

  • Digitization Strategies for Financial Services Providers Prof
    Digitization strategies for financial services providers Prof. Dr. Bernhard Koye & Prof. Dr. Stefanie Auge-Dickhut 1. Digitization as a change driver of business models in banking What steps should banks take to make effective use of the digital age? Is the hype about the providers of Fintech services just a hype? How to deal with the discussions about generation Y or Z? Is a radical transformation of one's own business model necessary or will an adaptive adaptation be sufficient? What is the right digitization strategy for banks? This article provides the framework for analyzing these issues for the financial sector. Digitization is an umbrella term for electronic network-based exchange relations. The authors define the digitization as the mediation and support of economic relations via network technologies. These relationships include the creation, the transformation process and the redefinition of value-creating relationships within and between organizations (business to business) as well as between organizations and individuals (business to consumer). The average lifetime of companies represented in the S & P 500 Index has declined from 67 to 15 in the past decades. This shows that the competition in the digital age has risen. This era is characterized by the technological possibility of obtaining information at any time independent of location, channel and terminal equipment. This "unlimited" information access is a paradigm shift, which makes the intermediation and thus many business models superfluous and leads to decreasing prognosis horizons. In addition, the new technologies enable a more satisfying satisfaction of existing customer needs and new - also cross- sectoral - combinations in the coverage of customer requirements.
