Since 1987, the SIC system has been operated by SIX Interbank Clearing AG (100% owner of the SIC) on behalf of the Swiss National Bank.[1]

By 2018, 325 financial institutions (national and international) participated in the SIC. The system process an average of 2.4 million transactions every day for an average transaction volume of CHF 156 billion. The majority of cashless transactions in Switzerand are settled through the SIC.[1]
