Nice find!

Won't take long for other banks to follow and, yes, offer coin deposits.

Their HQ is at a 2 minute drive from where I live. I could get there by catapult. 

I should drop by and give them a Ripple brochure, or something.

Ah, so the announced FI integration finally arrives. I wonder how much the volume will peak. After Swiss government allowed banks to manage btc.

In case you don't know, UBS* is working with Ripple (here: https://ripple.com/network/financial-institutions/).

I don't think Credit Suisse does (but: https://ripple.com/insights/credit_suisse_payments/).

Edit: UBS is the biggest Swiss bank and Credit Suisse is the second.
