Switzerland is renowned for a variety of things. One is that it is reliable. In itself not very exciting, but it has its advantages. Especially when it comes to money.

For centuries the country has known social and political stability. And the Swiss people know that this will stay so only if each can rely on, and stand up for, the other.

Irrespective of the constant changes in the banking sphere, the Swiss banker adheres to the same fundamental principle.

But the Swiss conception of reliability covers more than just the proper conduct of business. It means that the Swiss banker sees himself not merely as a trustworthy person to deal with, but rather as the guardian of each client's particular financial concerns, and able to act on their behalf at all times.

Swiss banks are obliged by law to back their transactions with capital ratios that are the highest in the world, in the customer's interest. That may blunt yields a little, but makes clients sleep peacefully.
