Links with Ticino

  • Over the years B-Source has expanded, opening branches in Pregassona, Adliswil and Nyon, but the headquarters has always remained in Bioggio;
  • the company created the B-Source Academy programme to provide its staff with training and development on business topics and other areas of interest. These initiatives rely heavily on local organisations such as the Centre for Banking Studies (CSB) and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), as well as international consultancy firms.

Interesting facts in numbers

  • over 500: the number of B-Source employees in Ticino;
  • oltre 30: the number of banks (both public and private) and financial institutions served by the company.

Results and achievements

B-Source has cemented its position as the leading company in Switzerland for the provision of IT and business process services, as well as back-office services (production systems, management, etc.) to banks and financial institutions, and therefore plays an important role in the outsourcing sector. With over 500 employees in Ticino alone, it is one of the biggest employers in the canton. One of the company's most important partnerships is with Avaloq, a company founded in 1985 which specialises in providing IT services for banks. The clients it has attracted over the years include numerous public and private institutions, such as BancaStato, Banque SYZ, NBAD (National Bank of Abu Dhabi) and BSI Lugano and some of its foreign branches.
