Dreyfus Söhne & Cie AG, Banquiers was founded in Basel in 1813 and is thus one of the oldest privately owned Swiss banks. The bank is currently managed by the sixth generation of the founding family and employs around 200 people, most of whom have been with the bank for many years. Bank Dreyfus is headquartered in Basel. It also has offices in Delémont, Lausanne, Lugano, Zurich and Tel Aviv. With an equity ratio that is several times higher than the legal requirements, Dreyfus Banquiers ensures its autonomy and independence. In addition, this allows it to forego short-term profit maximisation. In order to maintain its independence, the bank deliberately refrains from investment banking. Dreyfus Banquiers focuses on managing the assets of private and institutional clients. At the same time, the bank has a wealth of experience with family organisations, trusts and foundations. The bank manages the assets entrusted to it according to the principles of long-term asset preservation and risk-controlled asset growth. All of the bank's services are tailored to the individual needs of each client. The focus of client relationships is on privacy, continuity and individual solutions. Even in the case of management mandates, where our clients grant the bank extensive powers of attorney, the permanent dialogue with the client enables the realisation of individual wishes and investment goals. It is not unusual for the relationship between bank and client to last several generations. Among the employees, the bank attaches great importance to a long-term working relationship. This means, among other things, that the same advisors are always available to their clients and thus a solid basis of trust can be built up. Asset management Individually tailored asset management mandates are one of our core competencies. Based on a personal discussion and the joint definition of a risk profile, we create the starting point for the targeted investment of your assets primarily in direct investments.

Blood donation appointments The Basel Blood Donation Centre is a charitable foundation and a member of the blood donation service SRK. We have a mandate from the federal government to provide blood products to the health facilities in the Basel region. To this end, we maintain a blood donation centre in Basel's city centre and a collection point in the Liestal Cantonal Hospital. We regularly conduct mobile blood donation campaigns in the municipalities. We produce the blood products in the centre and operate an immunohaematological laboratory accredited by the SAS. The donated blood is used to care for people who have suffered major blood loss following accidents or operations. It is also used to treat cancer, leukaemia or other diseases. Around 50% of the blood needed in our region is lacking. In order to cover the entire demand, we have to buy blood products from the rest of Switzerland. Take heart and donate your most precious good! Donations
