Hi all,

Last night I found myself drinking in Germany with a few Swiss chaps.

As I'm heading down today to Zurich to open bank accounts tomorrow etc I posed the question, "which bank to you recommend?".

all 3 of them said that instead of UBS or any of the big ones, I should use Migros as they are the best.

Does anybody agree? I've never thought to use a supermarket as a bank before......

The one big recommendation: Use the search function

There are tons of discussions on which bank to choose already available, for example: Which Bank to Choose?

I have seen another tread on coop bank and so on: Migros and Coop both have banks with very competitive rates. I personally am not a customer there as they only have a really small branch with two hours opening times a day in a supermarket nearby where I can always see a long line of grandmas waiting. Does not work for me.

Generally: Opening times in Switzerland are one big problem, so choose the bank you actually manage to visit when you need them. I had for several years my bank account not where I lived but close to my office...
