Description

Select a banking establishment to open a bank account for the PPI

The proposed banking establishment is:

PostFinance AG
Swiss Post
https://www.postfinance.ch/

Does the board agree to selecting the proposed banking establishment.

Alternatively does the board select this banking establishment as secondary banking establishment candidate:

Alternative Bank Schweiz
https://www.abs.ch/en/

While this bank pretends to be "ethical" and alternative, it has been mired in various political scandals, amongst which related with the Swiss Green Party and the past local elections in the Canton de Fribourg. Their account opening process is very tedious and they are imposing a lot of red tape. Swiss Pirate Party has relationship with both, however the majority of accounts are located at Post Finance, as it is a stately run banking institution, and is preferred as each user can get notarized at any Postal Office within Switzerland.

The use of Cantonal(Lander/state) Banks is too cumbersome as all cashier need to be notarized in situe, traveling to Geneva for that is a too great burden.
