Why do you need all these documents to open my account?
Home > Swiss bank accounts > FAQ > Before you order > Documents needed > Why all this?

Opening a Swiss bank account is a serious process.

The bank must know precisely who you are and the origin of the money you will deposit. Written proof is required about your identity, your legal address and your economic background. This applies even more strictly if you open your account by correspondence.

This information will remain strictly confidential even if the account cannot be opened.
