@xwebm do you live in Switzerland since you were able to open an account there? Do you know if they require personal visit if foreigners want to open an account with one of these banks?

No, I do not live in Switzerland. I just as I told have opened account in SWISSQUOTE and it was free and online. If you want try also other banks are not guarantee to open account online about other banks usually you need very clear history and very strong reason why you want open account and also at least 10000 CHF to deposit of course if you are resident of EU or Swiss there is no need so high deposit. I am resident of EU and time to time visit Switzerland but I do not live there.

I will try to apply for an account with that bank. You sure that you didn't had to visit them or do a Skype Video chat with them in the account opening process?

Except CIM Bank in Switzerland I don't believe there are banks that open accounts remote for foreigners!

Correct.

If you fit the profile, CIM Banque opens a account online (skype call). They accept EU incorporated business, and sometimes offshore inc, having nominee shareholders/directors is something they do not like to see, if you have something to hide you are a risk, banks do not like risks.

Opening a non-resident account at a swiss bank, requires 1) a personal visit, 2) a seizable amount of money (50K+) and 3) a good back story.

Banks normally advertise minimum deposits of 250K, but those figures are flexible (depending on 3)). Sometimes as low as 10K (Schaffhausen Kantonal Bank) but you have to live in the EU.

If you (as a private person) want to have a CH IBAN account, you can also visit two banks in Germany that offer both EUR and CHF accounts, no large minimum deposits there.
