Banker i Sveits - hvorfor ikke meldeplikt?

Ja, er ikke 100% sikker på om jeg valgte riktig kategori, men ikke skyt meg...

 

Hvorfor har ikke bankene i Sveits noen plikt ovenfor andre som forsåvidt alle andre?

Uhm... kan du omforme spørsmålet?

 

Om det gjelder Sveits sitt gode rykte rundt å holde bankinformasjon konfidensielt, så har du en forklaring her:

What is special about Swiss bank secrecy?

 

Banks in most countries are prohibited from divulging information about their clients, and the provisions of the Swiss law follow the same lines. Swiss law is especially strict on any breech of confidentiality, whether in banking or in other commerce. The banking act adds a special section (introduced in 1934, in order to protect accounts of Germans, especially German Jews, from Nazi confiscation) which makes it a criminal offense, with the possibility of an individual going to jail, for the bank or its employee or agent to improperly divulge any confidential information. These portions of the banking law have been interpreted, both in practice and by the courts, to make it a serious offense to divulge any information about a bank customer to a third party, including official requests of foreign governments, except in some very special and clearly defined situations. Swiss bank secrecy is reinforced by a constant awareness of the seriousness of the bank's obligation to maintain confidentiality, starting with bank employees having to sign the secrecy portion of the banking act as a condition of employment. Both individuals and the banks are prosecuted if a lapse is discovered; this keeps awareness of bank secrecy high and and lapses rare. While this culture of absolute discrection is integral to the Swiss banks, the branch offices outside of Switzerland must operate according to the law of the particular jurisdiction, which may not provide so much protection.
