Experience with B.S.I bank (Switzerland) anyone?

[Spinat]

I was wondering if anyone has been visiting

B.S.I bank (Switzerland) to open a bank account with them either personal or for their offshore company?


Will they accpet offshore companies at all, if so, are their any jurisdictions which are restricted?


Any advise or experience would be much appreciated, please post here!

I think it is very complicated and difficult to get a real swiss bank account.‌ What I read is they don't accept offshore companies at all!

Would be great to‍ hear anyone who holds a operative account with them.

because this thread will pop up often now I think it would be good to let⁠ people know that the following Swiss banks are options for foreigners seeking a Swiss bank⁤ account.

• CIM Bank
  
• Dukascopy
  

Mainly they open personal bank accounts but we have read around⁣ the forum that some got corporate accounts with them.

I think also PostFinance allows for remote account opening, at least personal one.
I don’t⁣ know how they deal with business accounts.
I’ve made a search in the forum but⁢ couldn’t find a review with positive feedback.
Maybe somebody dealing with them can share his︀ opinion.

For personal accounts, PostFinance directly only accepts residents of Switzerland and some nearby/neighboring countries. Exceptions‌ are made at times, though.

But if you want a Swiss personal account, the easiest‍ to open is probably Yuh (unless things have changed): Yuh: One App to Pay, Save⁠ and Invest It's built jointly by Swissquote and PostFinance.

Yuh is quite easy, but you need to have a personal bank account in one‌ of these countries already:

• Austria
  
• France
  
• Germany
  
• Italy
  
• Liechtenstein
  
• Switzerland

Just FYI, I've read Yuh term sheet. It says they are not a bank but‌ they may ( smi(&% ) report to swiss tax authority for AEOI and FATCA.

This can probably be solved by opening an account with for example‍ Swissquote, or some challenger bank like N26 or Nuri first, and then going to Yuh.⁠

Yuh is just a business name, or, rather, the name of⁠ the app. In reality, you are opening an account at Swissquote bank. Hence, of course,⁤ they will report clients via CRS.
