We offer a broad range of financing solutions in Switzerland:
The roots of Cembra date back to 1912, when Banque commerciale et agricole E. Uldry & Cie. was founded in Fribourg. This bank later became Bank Prokredit. In 1999, GE Capital merged Bank Prokredit with Bank Aufina, which it had acquired in 1997. In October 2013, the Bank separated from its parent company GE, went public and was rebranded as Cembra Money Bank AG. In 2019, we strengthened our market position by acquiring the consumer finance provider cashgate. At the start of 2020, we changed our brand name to Cembra.
The Bank is named after the Swiss cembra pine (Pinus cembra), a sturdy and resilient tree with strong roots. This symbolises our Bank’s strength and our origin.
