Publication

Assets for which there has been no contact between the bank and the client for 60 years must by law be turned over to the Swiss Confederation. Before this takes place, the banks try one last time to establish contact with any entitled parties by means of a publication. The client relationship is published for a period of one year.

The Swiss Banking Ombudsman is not involved in the procedure for asserting claims regarding published assets and merely acts as an information office for general questions about the publication and publication platform and in the case of problems.
