Navigating Swiss Banking: Opportunities and Challenges

Jörg Sandrock, CEO of Neon, joins me for a candid conversation about shaking up Switzerland’s traditional banking landscape. As the leader of one of Switzerland’s first challenger banks, Jörg offers insights into what it takes to disrupt an industry deeply rooted in convention.

Expect to learn why Switzerland has been slow to embrace digital banking, how Neon is navigating the balance between simplicity and innovation, the pressures and challenges of staying lean while scaling, and why Neon has chosen to focus exclusively on the Swiss market. Jörg also dives into the transformative role of generative AI in banking and shares a glimpse into Neon’s roadmap for the future.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of banking and entrepreneurship in Switzerland.
