Swiss bank account opening: prepare KYC, source of wealth and structure file.
A Swiss bank account rarely fails because of a form. UBO, source of wealth, source of funds, payment flows, tax status and a clear structure are decisive.

Bankability is part of the structure.
Meyers Advisory prepares international foundation, holding and company structures so banks can understand purpose, persons involved and origin of funds.

- UBO, beneficial owners, structure chart, registry extracts, statutes and resolutions.
- Source of wealth, source of funds, asset history, sale documents, dividends, inheritance or business profits.
- Payment flows, expected transactions, country nexus, business purpose and tax status.
- Classification of DIFC Foundation, Liechtenstein foundation, Dubai company, holding company or family wealth.
