FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum deposit?

Many Swiss banks set minimums, especially for private accounts — we tell you per institution.

Do I need to travel?

Some banks require an in-person meeting; we confirm upfront.

Can you guarantee the account will be approved?

No adviser can. Banks decide on their own criteria. We prepare your file to the standard that gives it the best chance and are candid about the options.

Do I have to visit in person?

It depends on the institution and its current procedures. We tell you what is required for your case before you commit.
