Apparently Switzerland now automatically exchanges information about bank accounts with foreign governments. Does this automatic exchange apply to Swiss retirement accounts lie 3a and vested benefits accounts as well?

Hi there,

Swiss retirement accounts like 3a savings accounts and vested benefits accounts do not fall under automatic information sharing agreements and continue to benefit from Swiss bank customer privacy protection laws.
