Private Banking in Switzerland

Anna MileikoWritten by Anna Mileiko

Private Banking in Switzerland

Banking in Switzerland, tracing its roots back to the beginning of eighteenth century, has been developed into one of the main sectors of the economy and symbols of Switzerland. Over the centuries Switzerland has gained its reputation in banking due to Swiss neutrality and national sovereignty, stable political environment,its banking secrecy legislation which helped Switzerland to emerge as an international financial center.



Private banking, asset and wealth management are main business areas of Swiss banks. Out of 241 banks operating in Switzerland, 100 provide private banking and wealth management solutions, representing 19 countries, including 62 domestic banks, 5 banks from United States, 4 banks from France, and 4 banks from United Kingdom. Other countries represented in the private banking landscape of Switzerland are Germany (4), Liechtenstein (3), Lebanon (3), Netherlands (2), Spain (2), Luxembourg (2), Venezuela (1), Kuwait (1), Qatar (1), Brazil (1), Pakistan (1), Jordan (1), Italy (1), United Arab Emirates (1), Austria (1). While most of the banks provide their products and services worldwide, some are focused on the clientele from their originating countries and related regions.
