i tried to sign up with UBS (since i bank with them) but couldn't find a share trading service.

i remembered swissquote and applied online. got the application the next day.

the application was just posted.

whoever designed the application pack should be given an award. amazingly simple and easy - in fact, the best example of 'good service' i've seen in switzerland.

contrast to my postfinance application that i'm still sitting on after several months because i can't be arsed to muster the mental energy to tackle the application.
