Not a retail bank. If they needed help, it's very likely the Swiss government would give them assistance. Also, for the 4th straight quarter, their net long term debt went down. Last, debt (bonds) aren't defaulting at a dangerous level, unlike 2008 when bonds (mortgage-based) and the like started defaulting massively due to junk loans which aren't legal to create anymore. Values have dropped because raising interest rates depress bond prices to reflect new yields. This is all very predictable and ultimately self-correcting unless corporate defaults rise significantly.
