Banque Cantonale de Genève, founded in 1994, is a Finance & Banking company based in Geneva, Switzerland. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SIX SER. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 39 filings came from 4 insiders.
The record shows 34 purchases on the open market worth €1.5M, made by 4 insiders, against 5 sales worth €414k by 2 insiders. Purchases outweigh sales by €1.1M. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The buyers include 4 senior executives. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €265k, disclosed on 17 March 2026.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 178 companies) published 9 filings over the same period, against 39 filings here. Our records for Banque Cantonale de Genève go back to 2023, with 82 purchases and 23 sales on the open market in total.
Within a 30-day window, 24 purchases overlapped with buying by a second insider. Purchases made close together by different insiders form what is called a cluster. The last insider purchase was made public on 23 April 2026, 177 days ago. Most trades are made public on the day they happen. That lag is the time during which only the insider knows about the trade.
Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and Avidia Bancorp, Inc. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SIX SER. They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
This score ranks the purchase within its own market. A position size is suggested only on the venues of the backtested strategy universe; elsewhere, signals stay on watch. Not investment advice.

Banque Cantonale de Genève (BCGE) is a Swiss cantonal universal bank headquartered in Geneva at Quai de l’Île 17, 1204 Geneva, Switzerland. The company is listed on SIX Swiss Exchange (SMI/SPI), giving it visibility among Swiss-listed financial institutions and a direct profile for equity investors focused on the domestic banking sector. The current legal entity was created in 1994 through the merger of the Caisse d’épargne de la République et canton de Genève, founded in 1816, and the Banque Hypothécaire du Canton de Genève, founded in 1847. That history gives BCGE a long institutional heritage while its current business model is designed around a broad universal-bank offering.
BCGE’s core activities span retail banking, mortgage lending, corporate banking, private banking, asset management, mutual funds, pension and retirement advice, and trade finance. The bank also offers investment solutions and digital brokerage services, including its 1816 Online Trading platform, which supports securities transactions within its netbanking ecosystem. This combination of traditional lending, wealth management and investment services makes BCGE a diversified Swiss financial institution rather than a pure regional lender.
In competitive terms, BCGE benefits from being a cantonal bank with a strong home-market franchise in Geneva, while also addressing a wider client base of private individuals, SMEs, corporates and institutional investors. Its positioning is supported by a network that extends beyond Geneva, with locations in Lausanne, Zurich and Basel, plus representative offices in Hong Kong and Dubai. The group also has a presence in France through Banque Cantonale de Genève (France) SA. This geographic footprint helps BCGE serve cross-border and internationally mobile clients, particularly in wealth management and financing.
Recent developments have been constructive. BCGE released its 2024 annual and CSR reports on 13 March 2025, reporting net profit of CHF 219 million and turnover of CHF 586 million, and proposing an unchanged dividend of CHF 6.50 per share. The bank also announced an organizational change with the creation of a dedicated “Private banking & Asset management” division, reflecting management’s intent to sharpen its positioning in wealth management and institutional services. For investors, the key takeaways are BCGE’s strong regional franchise, its diversified revenue base, and its continued emphasis on disciplined capital distribution and strategic refinement within the Swiss banking landscape on SIX Swiss Exchange (SMI/SPI) in Switzerland.
