I will show you how I can open a Swiss bank account with 500,000 Swiss francs only in 10 days, how to choose the best Swiss bank that safeguards and grows your money, and how to best negotiate the terms and conditions.

[@UrzliBoy]

Thank you Mr Caputo. My Money and my Assets are save now...,

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

Very good.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

Excellent. I am happy that you achieved peace of mind.

[@maldeeb3342]

Thanks 🙏

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

With pleasure.

[@torontovoice1]

It's quite interesting some of the points that you're making. A lot of the small banks in the United States suffered major losses because they were trying to attract the depositors who were very risk adverse and wanted just term deposits. How do you compete with the larger Banks paying higher interest which are using client's money to lend out to traders to leverage on stock portfolios? They had to do all kinds of risky investments to generate more yield than what they were paying out. Otherwise they don't make any spread. Most people don't understand how Banks work or how the whole monetary system works for that matter.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

The safest banks are banks focussing their business to wealth management exclusiively.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

The investments are executed and supervised by the external asset managers. The bank is and acts as booking center - not more. The important services around investments are executed by the external asset managers. All family offices have external asset managers dealing with the bank. They do not deal directly with the bank. If you like, I am more than happy to introduce you to some of my proven asset managers.

[@workerdee9244]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Very informative. What do you think about Dukascopy? Is money safe there?

[@KarlDogan]

Could you please name the bank you working with and the bank you trust.thank you so much

[@DrAndiEstefanio]

1) Gambilng, Adult and defense is very broadly legalized. 2) There is no law, which defines, what is a sufficient "Origin of funds" evidence. 3) Banks have the tendency to spy out business relationship. 4) Banks are simply and mainly responsible for their financial stability.Not for devote espionage in indirect favor for governments. 5) That a banks ask questions is still okay., but often there is to less control who collects and uses which compliance data for what other purpose.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

I fully agree. Thank you.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

I fully agree. Banks want to know where and how big your wealth is. Their goal is to attract more assets under management. They are not allowed to sell your information. Swiss data protection law is very strict and banking secrecy still is enforceable (except for tax evasion).

[@DrAndiEstefanio]

@@SwissBankingLawyersZurich CRS reporting (for control purpose) applies automatically and does not have (criminal !) tax evasion as prerequisity. The value of the swiss banking secrecy is by automatic CRS pretty much abolished. The art is to switch off the CRS reporting.

[@JamesArlotta]

After the horrible treatments' I've endured by U.S. domestic banks, God Bless the Swiss Banking System...

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

For non US clients, US banks offer the highest level of privacy and secrecy in the world. The USA collects information based on FATCA but they do not disclose information to any country. There is a lot of non taxed money booked with US banks for sure.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

Can you diclose the treatment by US banks? My clients banking in the USA appointed an external asset manager. The US bank is booking center. That's it. The services are rendered by the external asset managers. The client has no direct contact with the US banks. He communicates only through the external asset manager. He will deal with the US bank. External asset managers receive a better treatment by the depository US banks. External asset managers are institutional clients of the US bank.

[@JamesArlotta]

By the bank not honoring the agreement that I signed, (that their fine print,) proves they violated the agreement. I complained to the O.C.C. and their financial examiner's know what I referred to. Just like how when Citizen Bank was taken to NYCOURTS Small Claims court, their lawyer was more than willing to pay me. Ignoring all the emotional pains's and suffering's I endured, because of the banks mistakes.​@@SwissBankingLawyersZurich

[@JamesArlotta]

I actually took them to the U.S. Courts federal WDNY District Court, but was denied civil due process as a court motion approved pauper.

[@JamesArlotta]

The U.S. DOJ OIG and FBI Public Integrity Section have yet to play catch up.

[@JamesArlotta]

That's the problem, I consulted with jurisdictional bar admitted attorney(s)', (but the court denied me my right's to civil due process in court.) That's after I filed complaint's with the relevant jurisdictional authorities'. Whose financial examiners would neither publicly or in any written responses from their offices take either parties side. It looks bad when I, (the plaintiff in small claims court,) get the U.S. Commercial Bank to "agree" to settle for the disputed amount. However, after having to pay excessive fees for the bank's fault and mistakes, (the whole emotional pain and suffering's, [I've had U.S. collections' violate the FDCPA where that particular statute dictates specific outcomes in court for each individual count and instance of violation(s)'.]) Yes, a qualified bar admitted attorney...I don't disagree at all. Do you know any that aren't in the Erie County NY or admitted to any U.S. Bars'?

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

Yes, I know a top lawyer in Florida, Fort Lauderdale. He represents senators and CEO's but he is super expensive. The dispute value should be in the millions to engage him. In this case the dispute value seems to be modeste.

[@milicuserbin]

Hello Mister Caputo, How many days would be needed for a swiss citizen and swiss resident to open a bank account in Pictet's bank? Thank you. Regards

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

It can take until one month to open the accoujnt with Pictet. I have a good asset manager working with Pictet. If you like to check, let me know

[@micomarinas2753]

is there any banks in Switzerland that gives an interest of 10% or higher annually without a lockin period?

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

No, i never saw an agreement with a bank promissing 10% or more in chf.

[@torontovoice1]

You know I'm amazed by the questions some people ask. I don't know if you paid attention to the video that you just watched? Banks are able to pay interest on deposits by either lending the money out to customers, or by buying bonds, equities, t bills, or other securities. Some people think that banks have some kind of miracle solution. They don't! They have all the same solutions as you do. They just have more information on various companies, but they can't predict where things are going. That's why so many banks in the United States have had problems. So how can a bank give you 10% interest. Perhaps you should think it through. There are no miracles with banks.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

My clients did between 8 and 12 % per year. These results are not guaranteed. They are realized on a best effort basis.

[@micomarinas2753]

is this a regular savings account that I can make a regular bank transaction such as withdrawal, deposit and issue cheque?

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

Yes, you can have all services but its an investment account.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

You should open 2 accounts, one for investments without transapctions and payments etc and one for payments, obviously a small account. You have to protect the big money. Where the big money is, no transactions please. Keep the big account as confidential as possible.

[@jansmit941]

What if I just want an account to store my money, not asset management. Will they be willing to open an account for me?

[@modern.mumukshu]

I have same question.

[@torontovoice1]

And how would the bank make money on that? Do you have any idea what the salaries are in Switzerland?

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

Try to open an account with www.swissquote.com. It is an excellent bank to be used as booking center. They have an excellent platform. It will depend on your place of residence, if they will open the account or not. I have an account with the bank with the following link www.swissquote.com managed by an enternal asset manager with the following link www.geneveinvest.ch. I am super happy with my asset manager. He is a bond specialist. It's a conservative portfolio 20% stocks and the rest bonds and cash.

hi as a non eu citizen can I allowed to apply Swiss banking license from finma or not

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

Achieving a banking license is very difficult.

[@user-mx8xg5ex6f]

@@SwissBankingLawyersZurich you mean to say that it is impossible to get banking liscence in Switzerland as a non eu citizen

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

No, it is possible but the procedure is complicated and expensive. I did a video on that. The video will come within the next weeks. The video is in the post-production. Be patient. There is a lot of information regarding "How to start a Swiss bank".

[@user-mx8xg5ex6f]

as a non eu citizen can I allowed to buy land and house in Switzerland or not

[@Turnip_Tyme]

Are Swiss banks generally ok with both, National & international Real Estate Investments?

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich]

Yes, the LTV in Switzerland is super attractive. You buy a property for 10 millions. 2 millions is your money, 8 millions will pay the bank in the form of a mortgage.

[@SwissBankingLawyersZurich442]

Mortgages are possible also for real estate outside Switzerland. Hoever, there are geographical restrictions imposes by the banks.

[@neelson]

It's complete nonsense that you need 500 K or 1 million to open an account. I spoke to a cantonal bank last week and 100 K is enough for a non-resident account!
