Do you deal with banks that have branches in my country?
Home > FAQ > Before you order > Basics > Branches in my country

No. Swiss banks are what they are (secure and private) because they are Swiss companies in Switzerland. A foreign branch of a Swiss bank would be a local bank owned by the Swiss bank. This local bank would not be different from any of the banks you have been dealing with in your country. It would not be bound by Swiss bank secrecy laws but rather by the laws of the country where it is. This also means that you cannot make withdrawals nor deposits on your Swiss bank account from a non-Swiss subsidiary of the bank.
