It is not only the banks that will ask.
Where are you declaring your taxes and have all these small accounts been fully declared previously?
CH taxes are on
all global assets. Although in itself the additional tax you may pay may not be that great, you do run the risk of being fined, on top of a request for back taxes, if the authorities think you are trying to pull a fast one.
Clearly donations/inheritance falls outside of funny business, however, it still needs to be declared.
It really does depend how much you are talking about. That said, I've transfered amounts up to 10,000 CHF without any queries.
Indeed I transfered money from the UK to a value of 50,000 CHF without questions asked by the bank. But these have been from UK mainlaind (vs. off-shore accounts) to CH accounts, and I was a customer for several years prior to this.

| Well I hope the AMLO of the bank you're transfering money to doesn't see this! Cos it sounds dodgey as! 
Why would you assume it would look like money laundering if you know full well that it's you're own money that you rightfully earned and saved for 2-3 years... The only reason anyone would think it might look like money laundering is if it actually is! We are not money laundering experts here and I certainly don't want to implicate myself in aiding a money laundering operation!  | |

In my experience, it is a legit question posed by the OP.
