SWITZERLAND LIST OF ISLAMIC BANKS

What is in Switzerland a list of Islamic banks ?

In Switzerland, a list of Islamic banks means a up-to-date register of institutions connected to Switzerland that offer Sharia-compliant banking — either (a) banks licensed in Switzerland with Islamic windows, (b) Swiss-based groups that deliver Islamic products in certain markets, or (c) historic Swiss Islamic banks.

In Switzerland, the list of Islamic banks matters for Muslim communities inside the country, because it tells you where halal options actually exist (and where they don’t), so you can plan around wealth management, Sharia-screened investments (e.g., sukuk/equities), zakat-aligned giving, and cross-border solutions without compromising faith.

In Switzerland, a list of Islamic banks will certainly include Islamic private-banking/wealth services that are more common than mass-market retail products, so families won’t waste time searching for non-existent offerings and can focus on viable channels instead.

Are there Islamic banks in Switzerland ?

No, there’s no standalone, fully Islamic retail bank currently licensed in Switzerland; instead, Islamic banking is available mainly through Sharia-compliant “windows”/services of Swiss-incorporated institutions and via Swiss-based Islamic finance groups with operations abroad.

Which banks in Switzerland have an Islamic window (List of Islamic banks)?

Here’s a practical split of who (1) offers an Islamic “window” from Switzerland and (2) has a Swiss presence but runs Islamic finance mainly abroad—based only on public, current disclosures.

A) Banks in Switzerland with an Islamic/“halal” window (from Switzerland)

  • Habib Bank AG Zurich — “Sirat Islamic Banking” (Sharia-compliant services offered via its Islamic window). Habib Bank AG Zurich
  • Lombard Odier — dedicated Shariah-compliant investment offering (mandates/funds built to Islamic screens). Lombard Odier
  • Julius Baer — provides bespoke Shariah-compliant solutions/mandates (the bank publicly notes launching Sharia-compliant products). Julius BaerPrivate Banker International
  • UBS (Switzerland) — offers Shariah-compliant investing (e.g., sukuk insights/solutions via Asset Management), in addition to broader global Islamic activity.

B) Global banks with a Swiss presence that run Islamic finance abroad

  • UBS — long track record (ex-Noriba in Bahrain) and current roles in Islamic markets (e.g., Bursa Malaysia’s first foreign Islamic Participating Organisation; sukuk content/offering).
  • Standard Chartered — Islamic banking (Saadiq) offered internationally; the bank has indicated Islamic services available in hubs including Geneva for private-bank clients.
  • HSBC — global Islamic ranges (Amanah/AM Islamic ETFs & sukuk funds) alongside a Swiss wealth hub.
  • BNP Paribas — Islamic funds (e.g., Islamic Fund Hilal investing in sukuk) with Swiss operations under the group.
