Hello, im looking to open a bank account located in Switzerland. Of course i dont want to go there just to open the account. I have seen several offers, but im not sure which one of them is real and which one is just a scam. What i need is bank account which will let me:
- do online banking
- accept wire transfer over the world
- let me pick up moneys by hand / atm card in Switzerland once/twice a year (i say it because i know there must be some moneys invested in the account so you cant go under the limit, its okay but would be good if its a low ammount)
also im from western europe country, and providing copy of ID/Passport and proof of real is not any problem, because my moneys are legal. Please help me, im willing to pay for your help. Thanks
I am Swiss, I live in Switzerland but I can already notify you that the opening of a bank account here am in practice excluded without coming with your papers here, if you decides on you to come I can help you but it is really necessary condition..
you can attain me by pm or mail: french@4fxtrader.biz german@4fxtrader.biz
isnt there any way to do it online? what about all those sites who claims to do it for 50-150e (is it really a scam?)
Also on one of pages i found this:
Mrs A deposits 10,000 Swiss francs upon opening, then 5,000 Swiss francs a month. She asks for an ATM card and spends about 2,000 Swiss francs a month. No problem.
Mr B deposits 500,000 Swiss francs from a house sale and withdraws 250,000 a month later to buy a flat. As a courtesy, he calls his Swiss banker and explains him what it is about. The remaining 250,000 Swiss francs are invested in short-term bonds. No problem.
Mrs C deposits 10,000 Swiss francs every other month for 2 years and invests her funds in gold. The balance is now 120,000 Swiss francs. She decides to buy a vacation home abroad and withdraws 100,000 Swiss francs to that effect. As a courtesy, she calls her Swiss banker and tells him about her new property investment and intention to continue using the account to build up capital just like in the past. No problem.
Mr D deposits 20,000 Swiss francs, asks for a bank card and spends 2,000 Swiss francs a month until there is only 5,000 Swiss francs on the account. Not acceptable. The banker calls Mr D and asks him to close his account.
is it really like that with all swiss banks? its kinda not good if you can't take out most of the moneys (even when its not a big ammount) and every time you must give a reason why you need your own money.
So is there any better solution for me than banks in Switzerland?
i would like to withdraw collected ammount after some months, and not keep it on my bank account for ever. also i must be able to pick this money in europe by hand, and not using ATM machine unless its the same country as one where i have bank account. also would be good if this country in not in EU.
outside EU you do not have much options, you have Eastern Europe and Blakan countries where I would recommend you to bank, alternative would be also Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein
Open an account online at www.swissquote.ch and get a stand-alone anon debit card. When you want to withdraw, just wire from your Swissquote account to the anon card and then withdraw wherever you like.
