Who can open a Swiss Bank Account?

Any adult individual can open a bank account in Switzerland; however, Switzerland banks reserve the right to decline service to certain individuals.  A bank may decline their banking services to an individual they feel might be “politically-exposed’ meaning, the bank feels creating an account for the individual may pose a reputational risk if he or she became a client of the bank.  A bank may also decline new account facilitation if there are doubts as to where the client’s funds originated.  Swiss banks are forbidden by law to accept money in which they know or may assume, stem from a crime.
