For UBS, the elephant wedding would be with her rival Swiss credit undoubtedly their largest and most important to date, but by no means the only one in their more than 160-year history.
Today’s banking giant itself emerged from the merger of more than 370 institutions. Since the bank was founded in Winterthur in 1862, dozens of financial companies – including private banks, savings banks, asset managers and brokers, and commercial banks – have been incorporated into the UBS realm.
After a series of transactions, the Basler Bankverein became the Swiss Bank Corporation in 1897. Most recently, UBS was formed in 1998 from the merger of the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBG) and the Swiss Bank Corporation (SBV). In the middle of last year, UBS wanted to take over the digital US wealth manager Wealthfront for $1.4 billion. She saw significant growth potential in wealthy millennial and Gen Z investors, but surprisingly canceled the deal. Probably for cost reasons.
