bank. We will not be informed by the bank about the status of your
application, nor we will be informed about your financial situation or
banking data. Your
personal data and your correspondence with us is maintained strictly
confidential .
It's
possible that the bank will reject my application? Yes,
the possibility exists but it's very, very remote. Nobody of our clients
was rejected so far, and we opened hundreds of accounts. Usually a bank
rejects an application only if the applicant is an international
criminal , or he/she comes from third-world, "risky" countries
like North Korea or Iraq. Open your Swiss bank accounts for as low as EUR 129
