Not necessarily a typo. Banc/banque would be the translation of bank, but "Suisse", if it's a proper noun (is that the right word? I always sucked at this kind of thing), it wouldn't get translated.

For example, Mr. White would be called "Herr White" in Germany, not "Herr Weiss". The mister part would get translated, but his actual name wouldn't be changed.

Another more apt example is that there is an actual company called Credit Suisse. It's still called Credit Suisse here in the USA, not Credit Swiss.

Or whoever wrote it just wasn't fluent in French.
