Switzerland Corporate Bank Account

A company registered in Switzerland still needs to satisfy the bank's own account-opening requirements. The provider will want to understand the business, its owners and how the account will be used before deciding whether to accept the application.

Coutts Consultants can help prepare the application and introduce the company to a suitable third-party provider. We organise the company, ownership and business information so that the application is clear from the beginning.

Who this service is for

This service is suitable for new and established companies that need an account for customer receipts, suppliers, salaries and normal business expenses.

The right provider depends on the company, ownership, activity, expected transactions and countries involved.

What you will normally need

Providers commonly ask for company registration documents, details of directors and beneficial owners, identity and address evidence and information about the business.

They may also ask for contracts, invoices, financial information or evidence showing where the initial funds come from.

International owners and businesses

International ownership or cross-border activity can lead to additional questions about ownership, source of funds, tax residence and expected payments.

We help present this information clearly. All applications remain subject to the provider's normal identity, AML and acceptance checks.

How Coutts Consultants can help
