3. Iqbal Khan
The former head of Credit Suisse's biggest wealth arm is now co-head of UBS' $2.1 trillion private bank – and also the subject of a covert surveillance scheme which hurtled Credit Suisse into its biggest leadership crisis in two decades. Iqbal Khan escalated a spat with his former employer by lodging a criminal complaint against the detective after a scuffle near Paradeplatz. The scandal is frowned upon by Khan's new employer, which is desperate to keep it from spreading and including UBS (more on the scandal in point 9).
4. Thomas Jordan
Switzerland's top central banker, Thomas Jordan, came under attack in 2019: Swiss banks are weary of a negative interest rate regime which is eating into their revenue. Even the normally more neutral banking lobby joined the chorus calling for the Swiss National Bank to abandon the policy, which is meant to prevent the franc from appreciating strongly. Jordan is also forced to continue defending the SNB's remit and independence: the latest attack involves a plan to use profits to reform the pension system.
