Launch of ISFB Insight magazine, dedicated to developing banking and financial skills in French-speaking Switzerland
ISFB Insight is now published quarterly in print. This new magazine features the most-read articles from the ISFB website and serves as a dedicated platform for skills development within the banking and financial ecosystem of French-speaking Switzerland.
Peter Asfaha: Understanding Banking from the Inside
Designed for students and recent graduates who want to gain a better understanding of careers in banking and finance, the ISFB Summer School offers an intensive immersion in the realities of the Swiss financial center. Led by practicing professionals and featuring case studies and direct interaction with industry experts, it helps bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the sector’s expectations. A few months after the 2025 summer session, Peter Asfaha reflects on this experience, the insights he gained from it, and how it is now shaping his career path.

ISFB Insight Print: The magazine for skills development in the banking and financial ecosystem of French-speaking Switzerland
The quarterly print publication features analyses, interviews, and opinion pieces on trends in the banking and finance industries.
The quarterly publication is distributed free of charge to ISFB member institutions, which may make it available to their staff, clients, or partners—particularly in their reception areas, lounges, waiting rooms, or reception areas.
Individuals can also receive the magazine as part of their ISFB Hub membership.
Since January 2023, ISFB Insight Online has primarily been an online publication. Articles, interviews, opinion pieces, newsletters, and social media posts keep pace with current events, industry trends, and ideas circulating in the French-speaking Swiss financial community. It’s all about immediacy: delivering information quickly, picking up on signals, sparking reactions, and gauging what captures attention. ISFB Insight Print operates on a different timeline. Print curates, compiles, and slows things down. It gives certain texts greater longevity, more space to certain voices, and greater weight to reflections that deserve to be preserved, reread, and shared. Digital media drives the momentum; print preserves the record. Between these two formats, different timeframes intersect. Some content remains available exclusively online to maintain its direct link to current events and extend the reading experience. Other articles, written by members for members, find their place solely in the print edition. ISFB Insight thus bridges the gap between the rapid circulation of ideas and the more enduring preservation of contributions.
