General Information
The Swiss PTT (Post, Telegramm, Telegraph) was divided into the Swiss Post (postal services) and Swisscom (telecommunications) in 1997. Both companies are now organized as limited public companies, but the government still holds the majority of the shares.
The mighty Swiss postal system continues to reign as the largest transport company in Switzerland, conveying letters, express items and parcels, it also offers delivery services, passenger transport (Postbus) and financial services (Postfinance, Yellow Funds) similar to a bank. The Swiss Post has a reputation for its reliability. One remarkable service is the guaranteed delivery (within Switzerland) of a first-class letter (priority or A-Post) on the very next day.
The Post is the market leader for payments and it currently operates 3500 post offices nationwide, which makes it the densest post office network in the world.
