I would avoid CS and UBS like the plague, they both have significant business in the US and the UK and the latter use that as leverage to get what they want. CS and UBS loot your account if the US government ask them to do so. A cantonal or small private bank are better for privacy. Private banks Julius Baer, Vontobel and the like are more exclusive, classier than CS/UBS but they might ask for 1 million opening balance.

Manolo, are you aware of the "Qualified Intermediary" status, W-9 form, and implications thereof?
