By Hanna Ziady, CNN LONDON — UBS made a hefty loss in the first full quarter since it closed a deal to rescue its stricken rival Credit Suisse, even as the bank attracted billions of dollars in new deposits from customers. [Credit Suisse has a major presence in Research Triangle Park....

UBS said Monday that it has completed its takeover of embattled rival Credit Suisse, nearly three months after the Swiss government hastily arranged a rescue deal to combine the country’s two largest banks in a bid to safeguard Switzerland’s reputation as a global financial center and choke off market turmoil.

Switzerland’s UBS said Monday that it expects to complete its takeover of longtime rival Credit Suisse as early as next week. Here are the details.

UBS said Tuesday it’s bringing the CEO of Credit Suisse on to its executive board and will keep the two banks operating separately “for the foreseeable future” as it moves forward with a high-profile merger expected to close within two weeks.

Credit Suisse bled customer deposits worth 67 billion Swiss francs ($75.2 billion) in the first three months of the year, and money is still leaving the bank as UBS races to complete a rescue of its stricken rival. So says the bank in its latest financial update.

A group of Credit Suisse investors have sued Swiss financial regulators after a government-engineered takeover of the struggling bank by rival UBS left them with billions in losses.

The Swiss government says it’s ordered cuts to the bonuses of top executives of Credit Suisse, with nearly 1,000 managers being “deprived” of tens of millions combined as the troubled bank heads toward a forced merger with rival UBS.
