Reporting violations of regulations by persons applying for positions at the SNB

Reports can help to prevent potential rule violations or to detect them as early as possible and take appropriate measures. This serves the interests of the SNB as well as those of employees and applicants.

The SNB has a reporting system that enables reports on rule violations to be received via various channels. The SNB’s reporting system also makes it possible for persons applying for positions at the SNB to report suspected rule violations. Such violations include breaches of the law and internal rules published on the SNB’s website (Code of Conduct, regulations and directives) committed by SNB employees in connection with their professional activities at the SNB or by third parties in the course of their business dealings with the SNB. 

Reports are handled – and where appropriate investigated – by the Compliance unit. If there is reason to believe that Compliance staff are involved in the reported matter or may otherwise have a conflict of interest, reports are to be submitted to the Chair of the Audit Committee by letter.

A report can also be submitted anonymously. Irrespective of the means of contact, the SNB will, if necessary, take precautions to ensure that it is not possible to infer the identity of the person making the report. Exceptions are made if the SNB is required to disclose such information by law or on the basis of an official order.

The following reporting channels are available to applicants:

Telephone: +41 58 631 31 31 (Monday–Friday from 8.30 am to 12.00 noon and from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm)

Electronic reporting platform: snb-extern.integrityline.io/?lang=en

Letter: Personal/Confidential, Swiss National Bank, Head of Compliance, Börsenstrasse 15, P.O. Box, 8022 Zurich, or in the event of a conflict of interest as mentioned above: Personal/Confidential, Swiss National Bank, Chair of the Audit Committee, Börsenstrasse 15, P.O. Box, 8022 Zurich
