Common questions
Before you write.
What is the typical minimum threshold?
Most private banks here require EUR 1–5 million in investable assets; boutique houses are sometimes flexible for entrepreneurial profiles.
Are foreign-residents accepted as clients?
Yes, with proper onboarding (CRS, source-of-funds documentation). Some banks specialise in non-resident wealth structures.
Is the bank secrecy still meaningful?
Bank secrecy in the classic sense ended with CRS; what remains is regulatory discretion and a strong professional confidentiality culture.
Are cryptocurrencies handled?
Capability varies — fewer banks here custody crypto directly; advisory is more common.
