Customers interested in opening a Swiss bank account must visit an operational bank branch, either in person or through a representative. If sending a representative, that representative will have to provide documentation for both himself and the person he represents. Due to strict banking guidelines, bank accounts cannot be opened online, as there is currently no way to verify the potential client's identity or source(s) of income online. Certain banks may allow you to complete this process by mail. A photocopy of your official, government-issued passport would have to be certified by an approved institution and sent to the bank you wish to do business with. Like most banks around the world, Swiss banks are required to verify the identity and source of income of customers who wish to open a new account. For this reason, most banks require potential clients to meet in person with a bank representative to complete the verification process.  Customers may be required to provide a valid passport as a means of identification.  Bank representatives may ask for documentation to verify the origin of income. For example, bank representatives may request a copy of a contract proving that a house was sold to acquire the money in question, or receipts from securities sales, or a verifying statement from a bank you've done business with in the past. Banks may verify the listed address of a potential customer by sending some type of correspondence through the mail. As with any other bank account, there are forms and application materials that potential customers must fill out. Due to the security of Swiss banks and the international pressure to account for tax evasion efforts, however, the paperwork process can be quite lengthy. One Swiss bank expert reported that there can be upwards of 100 pages of paperwork required for a foreign investor to open a Swiss bank account. Each bank has different requirements on the minimum deposit/investment an individual must make. Sometimes various types of accounts within the same bank may have drastically different requirements. Some banks (and account types) have minimum deposit/investment sums ranging in the millions of dollars. Many private banks will not accept new clients unless that client is willing to invest a minimum of CHF 250,000 ($265,896.64 in US dollars, or 230,704.37 Euros). However, some banks, including UBS and Credit Suisse, will accept investments below CHF 50,000 ($53,179.33 US dollars, or 46,140.87 Euros). Check with the bank you're interested in investing with to learn more about their minimum requirements.
