The investigation committee is Swiss lawmakers' most powerful tool and this is only the fifth time such a parliamentary probe has been launched.
It will also examine the role played by financial regulator FINMA as well as the Swiss National Bank.
UBS (UBSG.S) agreed to buy Credit Suisse for 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.48 billion) in March after panicked customers withdrew cash from their accounts at the stricken lender.
