Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Pick a bank. There are hundreds of Swiss banks but only a select few still offer numbered accounts. Search the web for Swiss banks. UBS is one of the largest Swiss banks and I believe they still offer numbered accounts. Contact a few different banks until you find one that offers numbered accounts.

2. Ask the bank about their application process. Most banks will require you to submit your financial information for strict review. Numbered accounts have no name or address attached to them so you will need to verify that you are indeed legit.
