As far as I know, you can open 2 Swiss bank accounts without going to Switzerland. Basically what you need to do is to send in the signed application forms and passport copy to them. Below is the description of the 2 Swiss bank accounts.
Swiss Bank Account #1
 This is a multi-currency account which holds CHF (Switzerland Francs), USD (United States Dollar) and EUR (Euro Dollar) together.  What it means is that you can deposit different currencies into your account and they will remain in their currency without suffering from any conversion lost. You can also request to add more currency later after your account is opened.
 No minimum initial deposit required. You can make any amount of deposit after your account is opened.
 No monthly minimum balance require after your account is opened.
 No monthly maintenance charge or service fee.
 You can open an individual account or a joint account. (Only for Private Customer)

 Visa and MasterCard credit cards are available. They are REAL credit cards like in the US or other countries and you can use them online and offline. You can request any amount of credit card limit. The amount blocked on your account depends on your chosen credit card limit. They will block the double amount of your credit card limit in cash on your account. If you apply for a credit card with a limit of USD 1,000, they will block USD 2,000 in cash on your account. There is no need to pay your credit card bill manually as the bank will deduct the bill amount directly from your bank account every month.
 You need a Notarized Passport Copy. Apostille is not required. You must have a passport to open an account. (No Passport = No Bank Account!). To notarized your passport copy, you need to bring your original passport along with your passport copy to the nearest notary public. Notary public are special lawyers who are given the right to notarized documents so that they can be used internationally. To locate notary public, you can search for them through yellow pages, Google or simply ask any lawyers.

What you need to do is to return a notarized passport copy to the bank and your account will be fully activated.

Swiss Bank Account #2

 Minimum initial deposit of CHF 1,000 (or equivalent in other currency, ~USD 800).

 Maestro ATM/Debit card is available. Each withdrawal fee is CHF 5. In order to received the card, you will need to place a secured deposit with the bank. The amount of the secured deposit is double your preferred monthly withdrawal limit. For example, if you want to withdraw maximum CHF 500 in a month, you will need to place a secured deposit of CHF 1,000. This rule is common among Swiss banks towards foreign customers (customers not from Switzerland). You can also shop offline with your Maestro card and the fee is CHF 1.50 per transaction. The card can not be used online. Card is applied after account is opened.
 Visa and MasterCard credit cards are also available. They are REAL credit cards like in the US or other countries and can be used online and offline.

 You only need a photocopy of your Passport. No certification, notarization or apostille required on your passport copy. The bank will verify your identity using a special 'Identification Form'. I will explain this in the next section. This will save you a lot of money because getting notarization and apostille usually cost at least USD 100! And you can't get apostille that easy, I have to drive more than 2 hours to reach the government office who issue apostille. (No Passport = No Bank Account!)

All Swiss banks need to identify you before they can open an account for you. This section explains the identification process for Swiss Bank Account #2.
Due to Swiss banking regulations, all Swiss banks are required to identify a customer before they can open an account for them. That means they need to 'Know You' before they can open an account for you. Although the regulations didn't specify exactly how to identify a customer, most Swiss bank will require a customer to send in a notarized passport copy, i.e. Swiss Bank Account #1. Some also require that the passport copy to be apostilled.
For Swiss bank account #2, they will identify you through the use of a single page identification form. This form will be sent to you by me which you can print it directly. The form will ask you for your personal information which include your name, permanent address, date of birth and passport information. After you fill up the form, you need to bring it to your local banker. Your local banker will need to look at the information and compare it with your original passport. He will then verified it by signing and bank stamp on it. This completes the 'identification' process which is required by the Swiss regulation before the bank can open an account for you.
If for any reason you do no wish to verify your identification form through your local banker, you can verified it by getting notarization AND apostille. (Note: Notarization and apostille on the identification form, not on the passport copy) Also you must have a Passport to open any Swiss bank account. No passport simply means no Swiss bank account (no exception).
After the completion of your identification form, returned it to the bank along with your passport copy. After you account is opened, you will receive your account number. You will then need to wire minimum CHF 1,000 initial deposit to them. Once the money is received, your account will be fully activated and they will send you your online banking information. You can now start enjoying your Swiss bank account!
