Yes, I have one, but only because I travel there regularly...I actually have bank accounts in about 4 different countries, it is just nice and easy!

Hmmm...not really, depends what you want the bank account for. I set it up when I lived there, and just kept it, so it is pretty cake. As a foreigner, it is considerably more difficult.

I'd just get it for the geeky cool factor :) now I just need to find a job that pays more than seven bucks an hour, lol.

what kind of interest rates do they normally have, if any?

You are missing the whole point of having a Swiss bank account as a foreinger.

Yes. It also counts if you have a bank account in Tahiti. Or money buried in a Cool Whip tub under a palm tree there.

the point is that it can be anonymous (for all your shady folk). i dont know if this is true, but i heard instead of the bank paying you interest... you pay the bank in swiss bank accounts.
