How To Open A Swiss Bank Account
Switzerland is famed for its banking industry and the high levels of privacy the banks provide their customers. Here are some of the key aspects you should consider before beginning the process of opening a Swiss bank account.
Who can open a bank account in Switzerland?
Swiss banks are happy to have foreign residents as customers. You can hold an account in Swiss francs or in a range of other world currencies.
Each bank will set the minimum deposit amount for opening the account, so you will need to find a bank that will accept the amount of funds you have.
Which documents will you need?
All banks will require customers to prove their identity with an official document, usually a passport.
If you are not able to go to Switzerland in person to open the account, you may complete the procedure by post by sending a copy of your passport certified by an approved institution.
By law, banks in Switzerland are not allowed to accept funds which they know or suspect have been obtained through criminal activities.
Therefore, it’s normal when opening an account for the bank to ask for documents proving the origin of the funds.
This could be a bank statement showing salary payments or documents from the sale of property.
