Posting profits is a priority for Swiss Post. The state-owned postal monopoly operates a network of about 2,700 post offices across Switzerland and transports letters and parcels. Besides delivery-related operations, financial services are a major revenue source for Swiss Post. Offerings include savings accounts, mortgage lending, and mutual funds. Delivering information in a slightly different form, Swiss Post also operates the largest Swiss online search engine (search.ch) and the Swiss online telephone directory. Swiss Post has formed a strategic alliance with banking giant UBS. In addition, Swiss Post's Postbus transportation service carries 100 million passengers a year.
