Swiss Banking

Swiss Bank System

Switzerland is the world's largest offshore financial center, even ahead of London, New York or Frankfurt.
Swiss banking sector has established this dominant position through a long tradition of political, economic and financial stability and some key principles, one of which is Swiss bank secrecy.

Swiss banking secrecy

Banking secrecy is an important aspect of the accepted in Switzerland respect of people's economic private sphere. It is intended to prevent banks from revealing the existence of your account or disclosing information about it without your permission.
Bank secrecy covers all your business relations with the bank; it is not limited in time and concerns all people who, working for the bank, are in contact with it.

Swiss bank secrecy is lifted for criminal cases such as gun smuggling, narcotic trafficking, terrorism, extortion, money laundering, tax fraud, etc.
In theory, bank secrecy can be also lifted for matters such as divorce, inheritance, debt or bankruptcy, however in practice, it is up to plaintiffs to prove before the Swiss court that the account exists in Switzerland.
