New! We have created a special website about Swiss bank accounts with hundreds of pages of information. Micheloud & Cie, a well-known Swiss firm, owns both websites.

You can open a Swiss bank account by correspondence or in person. To open an account in person:

  • It takes 2 to 4 hours to open an account.
  • You can make an appointment from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • We require the following information to set up an appointment: the economic origin of the funds you will deposit, how much money you intend to deposit over the first year and your country of residence.
  • Take the necessary documents with you to the appointment.
  • The account opening process first takes place at our office. We then go with you to the bank to meet with your account manager.
  • We reserve the right to refuse to open an account if we have any doubts about the economic origin of your funds.

Don't hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
