On 28 August 2025, it was announced that FINcontrol Suisse and OSFIN (Organisation de surveillance financière) will merge to form the new supervisory organisation “Osfincontrol”.
The new entity will be headquartered in Zug, with branch offices across all language regions, positioning itself as the second-largest supervisory organisation in Switzerland.
The merger aims to create synergies, enhance supervisory efficiency, and establish a stronger and more unified supervisory framework.
“Osfincontrol” is expected to provide transparent, professional, and effective oversight across the financial services industry, contributing to a more consistent and coordinated supervisory landscape in Switzerland.
The newly formed organisation will focus on streamlining supervision processes and harmonising regulatory standards across its member institutions.
It is anticipated that existing communication channels, reporting and notification procedures, operational interfaces, and fee structures will be realigned and standardised as part of the merger.
The merger is particularly relevant for financial service providers and portfolio managers subject to the Financial Institutions Act (FINIA).
By consolidating the two supervisory bodies, Osfincontrol aims to strengthen regulatory coherence, ensure uniform oversight practices, and further professionalise the Swiss supervisory landscape in line with FINMA expectations.
