Swiss Bank Replaces Seven Employees With Five Robots

– Swiss Bank Replaces Seven Employees With Five Robots:

A Swiss bank has replaced seven employees with five software robots in order to speed up workflow, according to Bloomberg.

In a pilot project, St. Galler Kantonalbank AG opted for the second option. The bank is so satisfied with the test results that it wants to decide on further assignments by the end of May. –Bloomberg

When St. Galler Kantonalbank (SGKB) needed to transfer around 5,000 securities positions into its own IT systems during the acquisition of M.M. Warburg Bank Schweiz AG’s private banking business, the five robots were put on the job, and “did their job well,” according to SGKB. Now they’re exploring other applications for digital employees.

“We’ve seen that’s technically feasible and now we’re exploring whether other applications are worthwhile, and I’m very optimistic about that“, Felix Buschor, member of the management board, said in an interview with Bloomberg. “The assessment of the potential is in full swing.”

Buschor admits some of their human employees are beginning to worry about their jobs – though he offers up a Jedi mind trick of sorts to reassure them that “as we have always compensated efficiency gains through natural fluctuation and because we paid close attention to enabling our employees to develop new technologies, the acceptance is high,” whatever that means.

World’s Most Wanted Bank Whistleblower Was Just Arrested, for the Worst Possible Reason

by

– World’s Most Wanted Bank Whistleblower Was Just Arrested, for the Worst Possible Reason:

For a prisoner exchange between Switzerland and Spain? 

Hervé Falciani, the French-Italian former HSBC employee who blew the whistle on HSBC and 130,000 global tax evaders in 2008, has been arrested in Madrid on Tuesday in response to an arrest warrant issued by Switzerland for breaking the country’s bank secrecy laws.

He lives in France, which rarely extradites its own citizens. But when Spanish authorities learned that he was in town to speak at a conference ominously titled, “When Telling the Truth is Heroic,” they made their move. If he is extradited to Switzerland he could face up to five years in prison.

Breitbart  The new regulations will make it impossible for asylum seekers and migrants who have lived off state handouts in the last three years to become citizens even if they have lived in Switzerland as permanent residents for the required time to make a citizenship application, Kronen Zeitung reports.

Swiss Army Greenlights Islamic Headscarf for Female Soldiers

– Swiss Army Greenlights Islamic Headscarf for Female Soldiers:

The Islamic headscarf is compatible with the Swiss army dress code, Federal Councilor Guy Parmelin has told local media, confirming reports that a hijab-wearing Muslim is enrolled in Switzerland’s school of recruits for the first time.

The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) figure addressed the issue in the National Council Monday when asked a question on whether the army allows soldiers to wear the veil.

“A young woman published a picture of her in a Swiss army uniform wearing a beret over an Islamic veil, boasting of being the first veiled woman to do military service,” Jean-Luc Addor told the Council.

“Is this tolerated?” the SVP representative for the canton of Valais asked, going on to question whether Switzerland’s army has “the will or the means to clamp down on veil-wearing and so prevent this kind of display”.

Parmelin, who heads the nation’s Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports, said the religious garment is perfectly within regulations as long as it is kept hidden underneath official regulation army headwear.

He added: “But the garment in question is not a veil, it is a scarf.” he added.
