Re: Opening a bank account for non-resident

Hello,
I'm a non-resident and I live in EU. I do not work nor live in Switzerland and I'd like to open a bank account there. I spent 2 days reading this forum and found recommendations for these banks: UBS, Raiffeisen and Postfinance.
I've called to each of them and got these replies:

Raiffeisen - they do not open account for non-residents

Postfinance - they do open accounts for non-residents but just from countries directly neighbouring with Switzerland (my country doesn't)

UBS - they do open accounts for non-residents, but you need to deposit at least 50.000 Euros in the first 12 months


My question is - do you know any bank that has lower minimum deposit for non-resident accounts?

Thanks
what are the annual Postfinance charges?
