Opening a bank account in Switzerland is not like opening one in your home country, where all you need is a walk into any bank down the street with your driver's license and 10$. Swiss banks are very cautious in dealing with new clients wich are not introduced by somebody they know.

Using our bank introduction services, you benefit from the intimate knowledge of a Swiss professional. We provide you with neutral, objective advice about what services and facilities at what bank best answer your requirements, then make sure you are assigned the best available account officer. Finally, we make sure the opening procedure is as quick and straightforward as possible.

Our service brings you many benefits:

  • You benefit from the neutral advice of a Swiss professional with an intimate knowledge of Swiss banks. This enables you to get the most out of your Swiss bank account right away. In many cases we can obtain better terms for our clients - lower commissions, lower agios, lower minimum balance, less restrictions on facilities offered, etc...
  • You can compare the facilities offered by various banks - without having to explain why you want an account to three dozens bank clerks in a dozen banks. Most banks have many restrictions to what facilities you will actually get and you usually learn about it after you have opened your account.
  • You can have a candid discussion with us about why you want to have a Swiss bank account and how you can achieve that.
  • You can get the right account for your requirements as fast as possible. If you take an appointment and discuss with us what you need in advance, when you come to Switzerland to open your account we can usually open it in 2 or 3 hours.
  • We can open accounts by mail . We opened hundreds of accounts for clients all over the world and can provide quick and reliable service so that you will not need to come to Switzerland to get your account opened.
  • Through us you are assigned  seasoned, professional and efficient account managers. In any given bank, there are good account managers and not-so-good ones. The good ones are always busy with clients and take only the most promising new clients or those sent by people they know, such as Micheloud & Cie. Walk-in clients get assigned the first available account managers. Those who are not too busy because they have less clients - usually for a reason.

We specialize in helping international clients open the Swiss bank account that will match their needs. We are not a bank and offer neutral advice and assistance in selecting and opening the right account for your needs in the right bank. We assist you through the entire account opening process, by mail or in person, guiding you step-by-step until your account is opened.
