In February 2021, Ewald Burgener, CEO of Valiant Holding, discussed the bank's annual results for 2020. He stated that the COVID-19 pandemic had posed significant challenges, but that the bank had responded by quickly adapting its IT infrastructure and processes to enable remote work. Burgener said that Valiant's combination of personal advisory services and digital offerings had proven effective during the pandemic. He reported that the bank had increased its operating income and profit, with net interest income rising despite a negative interest rate environment. Burgener noted that customer loans grew by 4.3 percent, exceeding the bank's annual target of 3 percent, and customer deposits increased by 9.6 percent. Burgener also described Valiant's response to the pandemic, stating that the bank did not seek to profit from the crisis. He said Valiant had supported affected SME clients through measures such as amortization suspensions and rent waivers, donated 90,000 Swiss francs to 29 charitable organizations, and participated in the federal COVID-19 loan program, granting 2,860 loans by the end of 2020. Looking ahead to 2021, Burgener said the bank expected stable business development and planned to launch a fully revamped mobile app, update its website, and continue geographic expansion with the goal of opening 14 additional branches by 2024, creating 170 full-time positions.
