Securities in the form of equities, bonds, funds, certificates and so on belong to the client and are only held in custody by the Bank If the bank goes bankrupt, they are released to clients and can be transferred to another custody account.
What sort of protection is there for vested benefit and pillar 3a balances if the bank goes bankrupt?
Balances on vested benefit and pillar 3a accounts are not protected by the deposit insurance scheme, but under bankruptcy law they enjoy preferential treatment up to CHF 100,000 per client and vested benefit foundation as a second-class claim. The preferential treatment of vested benefit and pillar 3a balances applies in addition to and separately from any other insured and preferential balances an individual pension saver holds with the bank (such as an individual account or savings account).
