Opening a bank account in Switzerland is a simple procedure. Not only complies with every international legislation but also offers excellent advantages by diversifying your savings in a neutral and stable country with a triple-A (AAA) rating.  Switzerland enjoys worldwide fame as the most important international private banking center. It is home to more than a hundred private banks that operate globally and specialize in wealth management. In private banking, there is usually no minimum amount for opening an account to deposit your savings and make investments. As a general service, it is offered to all kinds of customers, although some banks do recommend initiating the relationship with a minimum amount because the maintenance and management fees can be quite high. Certain financial entities also use marketing strategies to create an aura of exclusivity for their services, for which they set minimum entry amounts. In most cases, though, the services are not usually as exclusive as they seem. In fact, they tend to be similar or identical to the services offered by banks that don't impose any limits.
