Since its foundation in 1899, Basler Kantonalbank has been closely rooted in the Basel region and today operates primarily as a universal bank in northwestern Switzerland. As a consulting bank, it serves its customers in Basel not only locally via a dense network of modern branches. Via the digital channel, the most important banking transactions can also be handled independent of time and place. The financing needs of corporate clients are comprehensively covered by a broad range of products and services. In the SME Centre, specialists take care of the needs of small to medium-sized companies. High net-worth private clients, large corporate clients, institutional investors and other banks will also find a comprehensive range of services from a single source at BKB.

The Basler Kantonalbank has a state guarantee and an AA+ rating from Standard & Poor's. The BKB Group includes not only Bank Cler, a digital bank with a physical presence in urban areas that ideally complements BKB in the Swiss market, but also Keen Innovation AG. In terms of total assets, the BKB Group ranks among the ten largest Swiss banking groups.
