Winston Score History

The full picture

Basler Kantonalbank (BKB) is a regional bank based in Basel, Switzerland. It offers everyday banking services like savings accounts, loans, mortgages, and investment products to individuals and businesses in the Basel region. The canton of Basel-City owns a majority stake in the bank, which gives it a unique government-backed status among Swiss regional banks.

BKB earns money mainly through interest income — charging more on loans than it pays on deposits — as well as fees from wealth management and financial advisory services. It operates almost entirely in the Basel area, making it a small, locally focused institution with roughly $0.5 billion in market value. Its government ownership provides a degree of stability and public trust, but also limits how aggressively it can expand. The main risk the bank faces is its heavy dependence on the Swiss interest rate environment, since falling rates directly squeeze the profit it earns on loans.
