+ ACCOUNT TYPES

Two ways to bank in Switzerland.

Swiss Standard Account

A traditional Swiss bank account in your full legal name (or your entity's name) — multi-currency, online banking and full payment rails. Ideal for everyday wealth management and international transfers.

  • Account in CHF, EUR, USD, GBP & more
  • Online & mobile banking
  • Optional Visa / Mastercard debit
  • SWIFT, SEPA & SIC payments
  • Personal relationship manager

Swiss Numbered Account

A discreet account referenced internally by a unique number or code instead of your name. Your identity is known only to a small circle of senior bankers — the highest tier of Swiss privacy still available today.

  • Account referenced by number / codename
  • Identity restricted to senior bankers
  • Same multi-currency capabilities
  • Discreet correspondence handling
  • Wealth-management & custody add-ons

Note: Swiss numbered accounts remain fully compliant with Swiss and international AML / KYC regulations. They protect privacy from third parties — not from competent authorities under lawful request.

+ WHY SWITZERLAND

The world's wealth-protection capital.

Political stability

Centuries of neutrality and a fortress-grade legal framework protecting depositors.

Wealth protection

Strong capital ratios, depositor protection and a culture built around capital preservation.

Privacy by design

Swiss banking secrecy still applies to third parties — only lawful authorities can pierce it.

Multi-currency

CHF, EUR, USD, GBP and exotic currencies under one IBAN with institutional FX.

Wealth management

Optional access to portfolio management, custody, structured products and lombard lending.

Cyber & physical security

Top-tier infrastructure, vault custody, hardware tokens and granular access controls.

+ FAQ

Swiss bank account questions.

What is the minimum to open a Swiss bank account?

Swiss banks we work with require a minimum opening deposit of 25,000 CHF. Higher balances (100k–250k+ CHF) typically unlock priority private banking and wealth management tiers.

What is a numbered Swiss account?

A numbered account is referenced internally by a unique number or codename rather than your name. Your identity is restricted to a small group of senior bankers — protecting privacy from third parties while remaining fully KYC/AML compliant.

Is Swiss banking secrecy still legal?

Yes — for third parties. Swiss banking secrecy continues to protect clients from unauthorised disclosure. Authorities can still request information through proper legal channels (mutual legal assistance, AEoI for tax residents of partner jurisdictions).

Do I need to fly to Switzerland?

Most accounts can be opened remotely with video KYC. Some private-banking tiers prefer (or require) an in-person meeting in Zurich or Geneva — we coordinate everything.

How much does your service cost?

Our Swiss bank account opening service starts from $4,000 USD for a standard account and from approximately $7,500 USD for numbered / private-tier accounts, on top of the 25,000 CHF minimum deposit held in your account.
