To help pay for the expansion of Switzerland’s rail system, Credit Suisse was established in 1856. It made loans that were used to build the European rail network and the electrical grid in Switzerland. In response to the rise of the middle class and competition from fellow Swiss banks UBS and Julius Bär, it started to transition to retail banking in the 1900s. Before acquiring a controlling interest in the bank in 1988, Credit Suisse formed a partnership with First Boston in 1978.
