VP Bank and Switzerland
VP Bank (Schweiz) AG was founded in Zurich in 1988 as a wholly owned subsidiary of VP Bank in Liechtenstein. In addition to highly qualified multilingual personnel, we offer a broad palette of services that covers all aspects of asset management.
Just like all banks and securities dealers in Switzerland, VP Bank (Schweiz) AG is obliged to sign the “Swiss Banks' and Securities Dealers' Depositor Protection Agreement”. Customers' funds at the bank are thereby guaranteed up to a maximum of CHF 100,000 per customer.
