One Swiss Bank

[3] In June 2021, Banque Profil de Gestion, founded in 1964 in Geneva under the name Société Financière Privée[4] and One Swiss Bank merged.

[10] The Genevoise line of the Hentsch family emigrated to Switzerland in the 18th century from the Protestant and Culturally German part of Poland.

In 1793, Henri Hentsch was detained by Genevan revolutionaries and exiled to Nyon, where he began a silk trading business with an associate, Edmé Mémo.

This would set the precedent for the founding of Lombard Odier & Co.[12] Henri Hentsch handled bills of exchange and letters of credit for foreigners.

Some of his illustrious clients included Napoleon I and even Madame de Staël, daughter of Jacques Necker, the minister of Finance to Louis XVI.

[15] One Swiss Bank is known for having a notable and extensive compliance department, which has allowed it to take on a new generation of clients, whose wealth is derived from cryptocurrencies.

In 2023, The Corriere Del Ticino wrote an article on the rigor of the bank's compliance team, and its ability to take on niche clients as a result.
