- Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank (BLKB.SW) operates as a cantonal bank providing a comprehensive range of retail, commercial, and private banking products and services primarily to private individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and corporate clients in Switzerland, with a strong focus on the Basel-Landschaft region and northwestern Switzerland; core offerings include various deposit accounts, construction financing, cash and Lombard loans, corporate financing through business and investment loans, capital goods leasing, mortgages and construction loans, export financing, sureties and guarantees, debit and credit cards, TWINT secure payment app, mobile payment services, foreign payment transactions, real estate evaluation, financing, renovation, valuation and consulting services, investment products encompassing funds, structured products, money and capital market instruments, precious metal investments, private and occupational pensions with e-pension analysis and planning, pension funds and accounts, tax planning services, e-banking and mobile banking platforms, liquidity planning, and trading in foreign currencies, precious metals, interest products, and securities. Founded in 1864 and headquartered in Liestal, Switzerland, the bank manages total assets exceeding CHF 36 billion across approximately 20 branches, employs around 1,000 staff, and emphasizes sustainability integrated into its business model while supporting regional development through over 300 local projects. In recent developments, BLKB announced in November 2025 the decision to terminate operations of its digital banking subsidiary radicant bank ag after unsuccessful sale attempts, returning its banking license and initiating an orderly liquidation following the 2024 acquisition of fintech Numarics, which incurred valuation adjustments totaling over CHF 30 million; this strategic refocus on core regional activities, including local loans, Basel-Landschaft firms, and regional mortgages, is expected to reduce the 2025 group profit by up to CHF 60 million from prior-year levels, though the core bank's operational performance remains stable with unchanged high payouts to certificate holders and the Canton of Basel-Landschaft.
