Members

Since 2016, members also include institutes about to cease operations. As at 31.12.2023, esisuisse had 257 members (235 active banks, 18 active account-holding securities firms, 4 banks about to cease operations). The partial revision of the Banking Act meant that the membership of non-account-holding securities firms ended when the new regulations took effect on 01.01.2023. For the first time, these are no longer included in the statistics.
