More than half of Raiffeisen’s 3.7 million customers are cooperative members and therefore co-owners of a local Raiffeisen bank. The group has a strong equity base with a total capital ratio of 17.8% as per December 31, 2018. Raiffeisen is the most trusted banking brand in Switzerland (according to Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands 2019).
