Swiss Post delivers consignments nationwide, ensures the provision of payment transactions and operates a dense network of access points. It is right here for everyone, anytime and anywhere − digitally and physically, in conurbations and peripheral regions. It supports the local economy through its procurements, securing jobs both in-house and at its suppliers. Overall, it is directly or indirectly responsible for around one in every 120 francs generated in Switzerland. It therefore makes a major contribution to Switzerland’s gross domestic product. And hence to the common good of all.

Postbuses also operate in municipalities that would otherwise not have any transport services. 578 municipalities are connected to the Swiss public transport network exclusively by Postbus.

Swiss Post employs around 46,000 people, equivalent to one in 115 employees in Switzerland. This makes Swiss Post one of the largest employers, providing jobs in each of the 26 cantons and in a quarter of all municipalities.

Swiss Post brings the whole of Switzerland together, serving around four million households/businesses daily and, through all of its access points, registering around one million direct customer interactions every day.

Swiss Post does not receive any subsidies or taxpayers’ money for the provision of the universal service. On the contrary, it finances the universal service from its own resources and pays more than 250 million francs annually in taxes and duties. Over the past ten years, it has also paid its sole owner, the Swiss Confederation, 1.25 billion francs in the form of dividends.

In order to produce its products and services, Swiss Post itself purchases goods and services worth 3.1 billion francs from domestic suppliers, supporting the local economy and securing jobs both in-house and at its suppliers.
