SWISS BANKING

Swiss banking is known for its stability, privacy, and protection of clients’ assets and information. Switzerland’s neutrality and national sovereignty, long recognized by foreign nations, have created a stable environment in which the banking sector has been able to develop and thrive. Recently, though, its biggest bank, UBS, is staggering under a tax scandal that may undermine the Swiss banking industry’s secrecy and stability.
