Cornèrcard and Diners Club in Switzerland

Cornèr Bank SA acquired the Diners Club license for Switzerland in 2014. In addition to Visa and Mastercard, Diners Club credit cards have since been part of the product portfolio of Cornèrcard, the payment card division of Cornèr Bank SA.

Diners Club cards under the aegis of Cornèrcard are thus available as of June 2014.

“Cashless payments have united Diners Club and Cornèrcard for many decades now, and we are very happy to be able to continue with the pioneering spirit of Diners Club. Our existing portfolio of Visa and MasterCard cards will therefore be enhanced with Diners Club cards,” says Alessandro Seralvo, Head Cornèr Group Cards Division.

Eduardo Tobon, former President of Diners Club International, adds “For Diners Club International, Switzerland is an important market in which to further establish its presence. We are convinced that Cornèrcard is the right partner to achieve this goal. Cornèrcard has a track record of success, and through its relentless commitment to offering cutting-edge services it is certainly among the pioneers in the Swiss payment card market.”
