As it turns out, Swiss bank accounts are not just for millionaires. Moreover, it is not just for criminals or government officials trying to conceal ill-gotten wealth. It is not limited to celebrities protecting their assets either. In fact, they are available to just about anyone and a lot of regular people have these accounts.

In a sense, this is akin to the confidentiality protections between doctors and patients or lawyers and clients. Above all else, these protections are what makes Swiss bank accounts so popular with banking customers all over the globe.
