Personal account with a Swiss bank
Switzerland is a stable, developed and modern country, with a low unemployment rate (2.5%) and a highly trained workforce. Also, its gross domestic product per capita is larger than in most developed European countries. In recent years, Switzerland has adapted its economic practice to the EU in order to increase its competitiveness. Switzerland remained a paradise for investors, as it retained the possibility of banking discretion and the long-term external value of the franc. The main sectors are trade, health and education, as well as the banking and insurance sectors.

Fortunately, unlike opening a corporate account in Switzerland, opening a personal bank account is much easier. As an initial deposit with this bank, the client is required to deposit 5,000 EUR, while the remaining balance on the account should be no less than 1,000 EUR.
