I heard that Swiss banks have begun delivering sensitive information about customer accounts to foreign governments. Does this apply to retirement savings accounts as well? I have a 3a account and a vested benefits account in Switzerland from my time working there.

Hi there,

The automatic exchange of information between Swiss banks and foreign governments does not affect Swiss retirement accounts. These still benefit from bank customer secrecy.

Best regards from Moneyguru
