Bendura Bank is parting ways with CEO Markus Federspiel, effective June 30, 2025, due to strategic disagreements, particularly regarding priorities in Asia. The bank has experienced a significant profit drop, with earnings falling from 7 million Swiss francs to 5.9 million in the first half of the year. Philipp Forster, who has been with the bank for a decade and has extensive experience in the Asian market, has been appointed as the new CEO to drive expansion in Europe and Asia.
