Bank Thalwil has opened new headquarters
With immediate effect, Bank Thalwil Genossenschaft welcomes its customers at its new headquarters at Gotthardstrasse 14 in Thalwil. From Thursday, May 11, to Saturday, May 13, 2023, this starting signal was powerfully celebrated by around 3,500 enthusiastic people.
It is a typical regional bank for SMEs, commercial and private customers: Bank Thalwil, founded in 1841, with headquarters in Thalwil and branches in Adliswil, Kilchberg and Langnau am Albis. Bank Thalwil's range of products and services covers all standard banking transactions such as payments, savings, investments, financing, retirement planning and asset management. As the bank for the Zimmerberg region and as a cooperative, Bank Thalwil has strong roots in the area on the left bank of Lake Zurich.
Rooted in the population
Now the bank has moved into new premises. They also include a new ATM zone and a 24-hour safe facility. The new building is proving to be a major highlight for customers and employees alike. "Bank Thalwil is a great enrichment for our lakeside community and gives the new center, which is being built around Centralplatz, a characteristic face," said the mayor of Thalwil, Hansruedi Kölliker, on the occasion of the opening. During the three opening days from May 11 to 13, 2023, the regional bank gave all guests a look inside the modern and energy-efficient building. In doing so, Bank Thalwil sent a clear signal that it is committed to the community and will continue to be there for the population in the future.
Reference to the traditional craft
Last Thursday and Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., some 350 visitors toured the new building, accompanied by readings from the book "Thalwiler Geldgeschichten". They were surprised by the impressive ambience in which the future banking services will take place in the lakeside community. Bank Thalwil has said goodbye to individual offices and is introducing the flexible form of work known as "activity-based working" at its new headquarters. In open offices without fixed workstations, collaboration and networking among employees are to be strengthened and exchanges with customers are to become even more personal. The meeting rooms, gardening, carpentry, weaving, plumbing and painting, are intended to create a direct link to traditional crafts and thus reflect the differentiation as "The Bank Craftsmen" vis-à-vis the customers.
Guided tours, photo box and catering for "one Stutz
On the open day, there were further attractions in addition to the guided tours. While the big guests took a souvenir selfie in the photo corner, the little ones had their face painted at the children's face painting. In addition, all visitors could enjoy sausages, bread or drinks for "one Stutz" each. Sandro Meichtry, CEO of Bank Thalwil, is very satisfied with the opening: "The opening days were a complete success. During the bank tours, which were completely booked out and in some cases overbooked, we were inundated with compliments and congratulations. I am very much looking forward to the new premises and the new way of working".
