After a short initial conversation, and the promise to be contacted by the competent account representative, they have disappeared.

Aaaah the sublime customer service of Swiss banks rof/%

So what is the outcome, will they open an account for you and your business?‌

How is the communication from this stage?

I heard Hamilton Reserve Bank in Nevis is moderate crypto friendly and that there is‌ no CRS if you register it with a nevis based company

That's great to hear but it is off topic! Please see the thread title!⁠

I am surprised to see‍ that they actively offer comptes de libre passage. This type of account/clientele usually doesn't⁠ fit into the business model of a traditional banque privée suisse.
What is the⁤ required minimum they are asking for to open a customer relationship?

I'm not applying for such an account but for a wealth management one. I don't know about the minimum but I should fit in.

My strategy is spray and pray rof/%
I already have an account with a Swiss bank outside Switzerland and I need more accounts to diversify. Since I will be in Geneva shortly, I'm contacting all the banks I can find in the hope that I will manage to meet a couple of them in person and open at least with one.
Rothschild already rejected me. Pictet said it's too much work for them and thus they want more than $5m.

Didn't you say you're a Swiss⁢ citizen?
If that's the case can't you just open accounts in most Swiss bank without︀ that much hassle?

Also strange that Pictet won't accept you with $5m min deposit, from︁ what I know they accept $2M minimum and if you invest in their own managed︂ funds they go even lower.

They said “I have to be honest and say that the work involved for opening such an account will require an initial funding and mandate of greater size than EUR 5m”

Yes, I have. I‌ will PM you tomorrow (just came back from holidays).
I have never checked.
1M, AFAIK.

No.
🙂
Understandable.
I think︂ some introducer/wealth management office would help you a lot.
AFAIK, they have 5M threshold and they are not very open to︄ non introduced clients.

This is not a business account. I do business with Amazon and similar marketplaces, financial statements are audited and I pay taxes.
