Virtual counter: partnership with the Canton of Jura
In its 17 branches in the Canton of Jura, Swiss Post helps the public to register for the canton’s virtual counter and to use the 100 or so online services operated by the cantonal administration. Trained Swiss Post employees assist customers with accessing their digital tax declarations or certificates of origin, applying for fishing permits and booking their driving tests.

Innovative concepts and a partnership with Swiss Post are saving village shops from closure. In Surselva in the Canton of Graubünden, for example, two shops are embracing digitization. Both shops are now open around the clock. Anyone who wants to go shopping in these stores must complete a one-off registration. As customers do their shopping, they scan the products themselves and pay at the checkout via bank card, PostFinance Card, TWINT or invoice. Staff are present in the mornings, so that customers can also carry out postal transactions during this time. The wide range of postal services combined with long opening hours has already proved a recipe for success at more than 1,250 locations throughout Switzerland.

A new look for staff at Swiss Post counters
Clothing for staff in Swiss Post’s branches is being redesigned for the first time in 20 years. The new collection allows for individuality and conveys a consistent image for Swiss Post. Staff members are actively involved in the development, testing comfort, functionality and care. Sustainable production and durable quality are important to Swiss Post. The clothing will be manufactured in Europe and is expected to be worn by staff in the branches from 2025.
