Continuity in financial management

“Filling a C level function is a big challenge for many companies. We need longer than originally planned to search for a CFO successor.” says Beat Röthlisberger, CEO of PostFinance. With Marc Bonfils at the helm, we will have a very experienced and established leader during the transition period. His knowledge of both PostFinance and the financial sector is exceptional. Alongside the Executive Board, he will ensure continuity in financial management.” PostFinance will provide information about Kurt Fuchs’s permanent successor in the first six months of 2025.

Farewell after 13 years as CFO

As announced some time ago, Kurt Fuchs decided to step down at the age of 62, after more than 13 successful years as CFO of PostFinance. Kurt Fuchs can look back on over 30 years of experience in management positions in the finance area of the banking sector. He joined PostFinance as CFO in 2011 and has acted as deputy CEO in this role since 2016. From March until the end of June 2024, he served as interim CEO of PostFinance. He then returned to his usual role as CFO. He played a crucial role in helping PostFinance to weather the period of negative interest rates and to tackle future challenges on a solid foundation. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board would like to thank Kurt Fuchs for his tireless commitment and his collegial and highly valued collaboration.
