Anti-money laundering
Criminal money laundering is a global scourge involving financial flows of trillions of dollars as a result of criminal activities or illicit trafficking such as that in drugs, arms or persons.
Preserving the integrity of the Swiss financial marketplace is a constant preoccupation for the federal and banking authorities of our country. It is not surprising therefore that Switzerland maintains some of the most rigorous anti-laundering measures in the world.
Because regulations in this matter are evolving, we invite you to regularly consult the following pages:
