“Other digital financial products should follow in the coming months,” said Thomas Schwetje, head of the Digital & Customer unit, without giving any further details.

In the past, Coop was present in the banking business with Bank Coop, which became Bank Cler in 2017 and was fully acquired in 2018 by Basler Kantonalbank.
