PostFinance AG, a prominent Swiss financial institution, has a rich history spanning over a century, evolving from a postal financial service into a modern, systemically important bank. Its origins trace back to 1906 when it was established as the financial services division of Swiss Post, initially offering a "post cheque and giro service" to facilitate payment transactions across Switzerland. This service leveraged the extensive network of approximately 3,000 post offices, making financial access widely available during a time when Switzerland’s dense postal infrastructure was a natural fit for such operations.
