After studying business administration, Markus gained 7 years of international experience at a large bank with stops in New York, Singapore and Zurich. He then jumped in at the deep end and founded a startup. 

When the opportunity arose to combine the finance and startup world, Markus didn't think twice. Since then, he has been running the business of bench, establishing the first product in the guaranteed savings category in Switzerland. 

In a free minute, you can meet Markus in the mountains, on a snowboard when it snows, otherwise on a mountain bike.

Yasmin worked for a large Swiss bank and a law firm in Zurich before joining the cantonal bank in her home canton of Glarus. At bench, she is responsible for all operational matters and answers your questions about the app and guaranteed savings in general. 

On a perfect day, Yasmin pushes herself to the limit with new sports after work and then finishes off the evening relaxing.

Rainer is a member of the Foundation Board of the "Stiftung Bench 3a". As a physicist with a doctorate in particle physics, Rainer conducted research until the beginning of 2000. He then transitioned to the financial industry as a portfolio manager and has focused on the area of pension planning since 2009. 

To this day, he still enjoys intellectual challenges and likes to cool off in Lake Zurich in summer temperatures.

Fabio focuses on financial and pension planning for his clients, drawing on more than 20 years of experience in the banking industry.

As a member of the Foundation Board and as General Manager of the 'Vorsorgestiftung Sparen 3 der Glarner Kantonalbank', he brings a rock-solid foundation of expertise in the field of pension planning to our team. We are glad to have Fabio in our ranks, because when he is not setting up the ideal pension plan for his clients, he scores goals on the football pitch.

We want to offer a safe and attractive alternative to people who feel uncomfortable investing their pension assets in pure investment fund solutions. bench 3a allows savers to participate in the long-term return opportunity of equities while still sleeping soundly - thanks to the guarantee at retirement. For this reason we have created a new 3a category: Saving with guarantee.
