Michela Pollini has stepped down from her role as Head of Sales and Operations at Swissquote after spending eleven years with the Group’s UK business. She was also a Board member of the UK entity, part of the Switzerland-headquartered banking group.
A Separation after 11 Years
“Pollini’s leadership earned the trust and respect of clients, partners, and colleagues alike. Pollini has now chosen to take a break to broaden her global perspective and explore new opportunities across the industry,” Swissquote stated on her departure.
Pollini worked at Swissquote in London for nearly 11 years. She recently served as Head of Sales and Operations, a role she held for almost four years. Her responsibilities included sourcing, international sales, and strategic operations.
Earlier in her tenure, she led the Italian Desk for almost four years, focusing on cross-border client engagement and regional sales. She joined the company as a Business Development Manager and worked on expanding its international presence.
In a personal comment shared externally, Pollini said: “It has been a privilege to contribute to the company’s growth, lead through industry shifts, and work alongside such talented colleagues and partners.”

Swissquote Acquires PostFinance’s Stake to Fully Own Yuh
Meanwhile, Swissquote has acquired the remaining 50% stake in the digital finance platform Yuh from PostFinance, gaining full ownership of the venture originally launched in 2021. The transaction received approval from relevant authorities and reflects a strategic shift in the partnership.
Swissquote partly funded the acquisition using treasury shares, resulting in an increased PostFinance stake in Swissquote. Both parties agreed the move aligns with PostFinance’s focus on core business areas. Yuh will continue to operate under its brand, now fully integrated into Swissquote’s offerings, which serve over one million accounts.
