How much does it cost to open an account with you?

Opening a Swiss account with us costs only U$D 149, and it is an one time fee. This includes our intermediation services No hidden costs!

Can you describe me briefly the opening procedure?

The procedure is very simple. 
1. First you order our services from the order page. 
2. After paying our U$D 149 fee by Bank wire, or Western Union or  credit card, you should send an email confirming the payment and we will send you another e-mail containing a form that you must compile and send back to us. 
3. We will pass this information to the Swiss bank and this is where our service ENDS. Further communications will occur between you and the bank only, without our intermediation. 
4. After few days (one/two weeks - depending on where you live) you will receive an envelope from the bank containing some forms to compile, the terms and conditions of your account, and an envelope to send back to the bank the compiled forms with copy of passport legalized by notary public. 
5. When the bank will receive your envelope your new account will be operative. 
The timeframe for all these steps is anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on your location. A customer from France wrote us that the Opening Kit arrived in three days from Switzerland, another customer from India told us that it took 8 days to reach her location.
