Swiss Bank Employees' Union

The Swiss Bank Employees' Union (German: Schweizerische Bankpersonalverband, SBPV; French: Association suisse des employés de banque) is a trade union representing workers in the banking industry in Switzerland.

The union was founded in April 1918, by eight local organisations which had split from the Swiss Commercial Association.

[1][2] In 1920, the union concluded its first collective agreement, with the Association of Zurich Credit Institutions, and it also created an employment agency for members.

[1] From its foundation, it was affiliated to the Confederation of Swiss Employees' Associations, but it left in 1943.

[3] It remained independent until 2001, when it became an associate member of the Swiss Trade Union Federation, later becoming a full member.
