Question

Does anyone know where I can set up a swiss bank account online, whithout paying a third party?

Answer 1

You do know you need a LOT of money to deposit into a legit swiss bank account right?

In other words no such animal.

Answer 2

A number of popular misconceptions exist concerning Swiss banking. This view is largely the result of Hollywood movies show a hitman requesting $1 million to be assigned to his numbered account (remember "The Day of the Jackal?")

It is simply nonsense to state you need to be a Swiss citizen to open one. How the hell does anyone think all the foreign money comes from? The answer: from foreign countries! Probably 80% of the money floating around in Swiss accounts flows in from abroad. The Swiss banking system could not possibly be as powerful and eminent as it is on Swiss funds alone. The Swiss are very eager to obtain other people's money.

Another myth is that you need to be a millionaire to open an account. Some investment banks may charge a deposit of, say, $500,000 but these are extremely rare. In many cases you can open some with as little as $2,000 and gain all the prestigious services Swiss banks bestow on their valued clients.

Here's a website which may help you:

Note many of the above are agents wanting to charge for setting up (something I know in your question you don't want!).

Also, contact the Swiss Embassy. You will find them most helpful. After all they are promoting their own countries services.

Good luck with your quest!

Answer 3

Depends on your situation, personality and the nature of the attack. If it were for work then it's company policy, if it was personal and wrong then swing away. The only advice I can give is don't make it personal in response, if someone attacks you your defending your position and the integrity of that is what counts. Then again if your position is comfortable and you couldn't be bothered, then ignore it.

Answer 4

Either you will have sufficient funds that you already employ full time accountants and Tax experts who can do this for you
OR
you need to emigrate to Switzerland (I believe they will let in anybody who is willing to spend £1m or more buying a house).

Answer 5

UBS and Credit Suisse.
