How much does it cost to open an account with you?
Opening a Swiss account with us costs only price that
is advert! and it is an one time fee. This includes our intermediation services
No hidden costs!
Can you describe me briefly the opening procedure?
The procedure is very simple.
1. First you order our services from the order
page.
2. After paying by bank wire or send the money by
western union by credit card, you will send and email confirm the payment and
we will send you another e-mail containing a form that you must compile and
send back to us.
3. We will pass this information to the Swiss bank and
this is where our service ENDS. Further communications will occur between you
and the bank only, without our intermediation.
4. After few days (one/two weeks - depending on where
you live) you will receive an envelope from the bank containing some forms to
compile, the terms and conditions of your account, and a prepaid envelope to
send back to the bank the compiled forms.
5. When the bank will receive your envelope your new
account will be operative.
The timeframe for all these steps is anywhere from 1
to 2 weeks, depending on your location. A customer from France wrote us that
the Opening Kit arrived in three days from Switzerland, another customer from
India told us that it took 8 days to reach her location.
Why should I open an account in Switzerland?
Switzerland is a stable, neutral country with
centuries of democratic tradition. Swiss Franc is a currency backed by gold and
the most stable in the world. The banking sector is so regulated that it's
almost impossible to lose money if you put it in Switzerland. The quality of
the banking services is excellent and you can manage your account from the
comfort of your home, from any part of the world. Privacy! Unless you are a
criminal, it's impossible to get information about you from your bank.
Will my account be stable? Are the Swiss Banks you are
working with really cooperating in opening accounts for non-Swiss
residents?
Sure. First, all the accounts are insured by the Swiss
Government. The bank is in business for near a century and half and serves both
Swiss and non-Swiss citizens - that tells something about stability! Regarding
working with non-Swiss residents : that's normal routine for Swiss Banks. They have clients
from all over the world.
Is my privacy really assured with my Swiss bank
account?
Totally assured. Swiss bank secrecy is regulated by
both civil law (including the banking act) and criminal law. Violation of the
secrecy can thus be subject to double punishment: prison and fines.
Do I need special documents to open a Swiss bank
account?
No. Only an Apostilled copy of your passport or ID is
required. In case of a business account, the bank may require apostilled
Articles of Association and/or Commercial register extract. It depends on which
kind of company or business do you have. If you want to know exactly which
documents you need for your business account contact us specifying exactly the
typology of your business (Association, LLC, Cooperative etc..)
What is an Apostille? How can I get it?
The Apostille is a method of certifying a document for
use in another country pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention. With this
certification by Apostille, a document is entitled to recognition in the
country of intended use, and no certification or legalization by the embassy or
consulate of the foreign country where the document is to be used is required.
If your country is included in this list, you can easily get an Apostille. However
the method for obtaining an Apostille is different between countries, so you
should contact your local authorities or a notary to get more information.
Attention : sometimes notaries are not familiar with this procedure, and may
propose you another form of document authentication. The only valid form of
authentication for Swiss banks is an Apostille, so make sure that your document
will bear the term "APOSTILLE". Note : If you are from the USA you
can get an Apostille in office of the Secretary of the State.
My country is not on the list and nobody seems to know
what an Apostille is, here. What can I
do?
If your country isn't in the list of the Hague
Convention, that doesn't mean that you can't get an Apostille at all. The
Apostille is recognized in many countries, and chances are that your local
authorities can provide an Apostille anyway even if not listed officially in
the Hague Convention. However if you can't get an Apostille in your country,
you can probably legalize your documents in some way. Contact the local Swiss
Embassy to ask for information. You can use Google to search for Swiss
Embassies, usually they always have a website. Chances are that they can
Apostille or legalize your documents for use in Switzerland, or that at least they
will be able to tell you which local legalization procedures are valid and
recognized for Swiss use.
I saw another vendor that said than I can open
an account with them without an Apostille. It's possible?
Beware! The web is full of scams and some companies
will tell you anything to get your money and disappear overnight. Any serious
bank will ask for a legalization of your documents if you are not a Swiss
citizen. The bank sector in Switzerland is extremely regulated and the banks
must know you to work with you in security and confidence. It's true that an
Apostille is not strictly necessary if you live in a country where the
Apostille is not available, but a legalization of the document comparable to the Apostille is always needed.
Are the accounts insured?
Yes! Our accounts are fully backed by the Swiss
government.
I am from the United States, can I open an account in
USD?
Sure! Our accounts have a multicurrency feature. You
can have your main account in USD, EUR, CHF or
other currencies and then open other sub-accounts (connected with your
main account) in another 9 currencies.
Will I be able to do all banking operations online
and/or by phone?
Yes. All the operation can be done trough an intuitive
and complete online banking interface and also by phone in English, German,
French and Italian.
Do I need to come in Switzerland in person to open an
account?
No. You can apply online trough this website. There is
no need to come in Switzerland in person.
Can I fax you the necessary documents to open an
account?
No. Our is only an introductory service : we introduce
you to the bank and all the correspondence will be between you and the bank.
Usually the opening process is done via snail mail.
Can I have a credit card?
Sure, once your account is opened you can request a
credit card for as low as $40 per year and $15 per year for each additional
card. You can request both VISA and MasterCard.
How much is the minimum deposit for a credit card?
The minimum deposit is decided individually, usually
it must be equal to the credit card monthly credit. So if your credit card has
for example a $1500 monthly spending limit, your minimum balance must be $1500.
Can I have an ATM card?
Sure, an ATM card comes free with your account and can
be used at 810,000 ATMs worldwide. You can withdraw up to about $750 per day
for a flat fee of about $3 per withdrawal.
Do I have to pay taxes on the money I deposit/invest
in Switzerland?
There are no taxes on the money you invest or deposit
in Switzerland. We are speaking about Swiss taxes only and we advise you to
check with your local fiscal laws to see if you would be liable for taxes in
your country upon accounts held in Switzerland.
How can I withdraw money from my Swiss account?
You can withdraw money from your Swiss account trough
a bank transfer to a bank account in your country or using your ATM or Credit
Card or exchanging a check in a local bank or you can issue a Western Union
from you account to yourself or a friend or alternatively you can come in Switzerland
and take the money in person.
How can I deposit money in my Swiss account?
You can deposit money in person or trough a bank
transfer.
Can I use PayPal with my Swiss account?
Sure! You can use PayPal with your Swiss account for
both sending and receiving money.
Exactly which currencies can I use from my
transactions?
You can use :
CHF Swiss
Franc, AUD Australian Dollar, CAD Canadian Dollar, DKK Danish Krone, GBP Pound Sterling, JPY
Japanese Yen, NOK Norwegian Krone, SEK
Swedish Krona, EUR European Euro, USD American Dollar
The main currency of your account will be CHF,
but you can open additional accounts linked to your main account (accessible
from a single banking interface), free of charge in any of these currencies.
I heard that Swiss banks need a proof of the
economic origin of the funds? Is that true?
This is true only for very big sums, to prevent money
laundering. Usually banks will require this kind of proof if you will deposit
something like $1,000,000 or more.
Can I cash checks?
Sure, you can cash checks in person or by mail.
Can I issue checks?
Yes, you can have a checkbook. However checks are not
used much with Swiss accounts, as they are a tangible proof that your account
exists. If you want to keep confidential your account, we suggest you to avoid
checks. There are more practical and secure methods of payments.
Will my
account get interest?
Yes, but every currency gets its own interest rate in
its sub-account.
Can I use
Western Union to send money from my account?
Yes! You can use Western Union to send money from your
account. You can make the transaction directly online, from the comfort of your
home and with direct debit to your account.
Why your
prices are so low? Usually companies charge from $199 to $1000 for a Swiss
account!
Because we don't like to overcharge our customers and
we sustain that everyone has the right to his/her privacy and to secure his/her
money. Swiss accounts are not only for millionaires.
I want to open
a Swiss account but I am concerned about my privacy. If I use your services is
my personal data at risk?
Absolutely not! Your privacy is 100% protected in many
ways with us! We act only as an intermediary and our job ends the exact moment
we will pass your information to the bank. From that moment all the
communications and all the correspondence will be between you and the bank. We
will not be informed by the bank about the status of your application, nor we
will be informed about your financial situation or banking data. Your personal data and your correspondence
with us is maintained strictly confidential and will be deleted once
information is sent to the Bank.
It's possible that the bank will reject my
application?
Yes, the possibility exists but it's very, very remote.
Nobody of our clients was rejected so far, and we opened hundreds of accounts.
Usually a bank rejects an application only if the applicant is an international
criminal (!), or he/she comes from third-world, "risky" countries
like North Korea or Iraq.
Do you offer a
money back guarantee?
Sure. If the bank will reject your
application, we will refund your money entirely.
