URL: http://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-finance/banking/swiss-bank-account.htm

Description:
This article aims to dispel myths propagated in popular culture (such as James Bond movies and "The Da Vinci Code") about the operation of Swiss bank accounts. "People who live in countries with unstable governments and banks in particular often turn to Swiss banks because of their security and privacy." Topics include private versus retail banking, Swiss bank account advantages, history, regulations, numbered accounts, and opening an account. From HowStuffWorks.
