I did not get your answer. But thanks a lot for your reply. 🙂
Lets say, say someone have an account at Medirect and the incoming funds were routed via CS.
Can Medirect send these fund out via their direct connection to ECB? Or is it mandatory to send them the same route as the funds were received (via CS in this case)?
If they have enough liquidity in ECB or somewhere else, yes, they can pay it out via that channel. Banks are free to use whichever correspondent is best.
However, if they don't have liquidity, they may not be able to process the transaction, at least not without some financial aid or until they have received enough incoming funds on the account.

This is the probably the answer to your question.
Routed via CS?? The funds are held with CS in Medirects Nostro accounts they hold within CS for each currency. So no.
How can they send out funds stuck in their Nostro accounts at CS. Thats like saying can EPB send funds stuck in their Nostro acconts at Banco Novo to another correspondence account - they can't as funds are stuck lol.
No. But one would need to transfer the funds from their Nostro account at CS to their Nostro account at the ECB. How can that happen if CS stopped functioning? Medirect would simply be stuck as would every bank on planet using CS.
The reason as a bank you should maintain multiple correspondence accounts (i.e Nostro Accounts) like BOG does is to spread your risk around. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket. The same reason I keep multiple personal accounts everywhere.

The Swiss government has urged UBS to acquire Credit Suisse (CSGKF) , in an attempt to end the crisis of confidence around the bank, which has been rocked by numerous scandals over the past few years. The government, which provided Credit Suisse a 50 billion Swiss Franc loan (almost $54 billion) to shore up its liquidity this week, is not in a position to intervene further, fearing public backlash in using taxpayer money to bail out the bank.

I thought the public outrage and pre-existing plan FINMA had on how to handle this exact situation would kick in. But in end the Swiss bottled it and bailed them out. Lol....wonder what will happen to all those bankers compensated in CS Shares including former CEO's smi(&%.

Credit Suisse Ratings and reports
https://www.credit-suisse.com/about...ns/debt-investors/ratings-credit-reports.html
That was 90 days ago. Why isn't their rating now Ba1/BB+/BB+ i.e Non-Investment Grade speculative by the three agencies (Moodys/S&P/Fitch) or in fact much lower.
Anyway CS learning that karma is real looking back on their history.

What a steal, that bank was.
They apparently amend laws to avoid a shareholder vote.
Bitcoin never felt safer 😉
Lol....I can't stop laughing
. The Swiss tax payer is asked to cover up to $9bn of potential losses for problems a private and twice convicted criminal enterprise called CS caused to itself

The terms of the deal will see Credit Suisse shareholders receive 1 UBS share for every 22.48 Credit Suisse shares they hold.
“This acquisition is attractive for UBS shareholders but, let us be clear, as far as Credit Suisse is concerned, this is an emergency rescue. We have structured a transaction which will preserve the value left in the business while limiting our downside exposure,” said UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher in a statement.
The combined bank will have $5 trillion of invested assets, according to UBS.
The Swiss National Bank pledged a loan of up to 100 billion Swiss francs ($108 billion) to support the takeover. The Swiss government also granted a guarantee to assume losses up to 9 billion Swiss francs from certain assets over a preset threshold “in order to reduce any risks for UBS,” said a separate government statement.
“This is a commercial solution and not a bailout,” said Karin Keller-Sutter, the Swiss finance minister, in a press conference Sunday.

Also things to laugh about - shareholder rights apparently do not count like in a banana republic. I can rather go back and buy stocks in Africa. At least they are cheap af there.
They provide 100bn liquidity and go back to printing. So they also pay with debased chf.
You raise an important point. Deal was done by bypassing a shareholder vote. So where is rule of law in Switzerland when self inflicted crisis's like this happen? The government had plenty of time to prepare and even had a too big to fail plan in place which they didnt follow. Credit Suisse has had problems for years even this thread goes back nearly 6 months...lol.
Anyway this all reminds me of when Swiss government broke their own banking secrecy laws to hand over the names of 4,450 American UBS account holders to US after US threatened to revoke its US banking license. I can't take the Swiss seriously any more and the reputation it had as a sound trusted financial centre is truly over. When push came to shove Finma and government have shown Switzerland to be a very weak financial centre for stability, protection and rule of law sadly. Also investors in Credit Suisse would have been far better off investing in Dogecoin or Shiba Inu....just saying lol.

All this is true but not surprising. All banks worldwide are zombies in advanced decomposition process. Saving them using freshly printed fiat is pointless.

Seriously concerning.
Good point. By its laws, leaking bank client data is highly punished with jail time. Much more than not paying tax etc. So every small schmuck working at a bank there needs to take care of this.
But as you said, apparently, it doesn't count in an emergency.
Good call.
