 PROFILE
Posting profits is a priority for Swiss Post, the state-owned postal monopoly that operates about 3,400 post offices across Switzerland and processes some 600,000 parcels and 8 million letters a day. Letters are delivered mainly by trucks, although Swiss Posts' use of rail transport is growing, especially for parcel delivery. It has electronically linked some 1,100 of the largest post offices in Switzerland, equipping them with automated counter services. Another 900 post offices are slated to be electronically linked. In addition, about 2.1 million people in Switzerland have a postal giro (banking) account.
