Swiss Bank Account	comment	No self-respecting big-money criminal or superspy or would stash his loot in anything but a legendarily secretive Swiss bank account. In fiction, a Millionaire Playboy can walk into a luxuriously appointed bank office with a Briefcase Full of Money and the staff discreetly add it to his secret, numbered account with no paperwork. In the hands of particularly lazy thriller writers, a non-Swiss character merely possessing a Swiss bank account is proof that a person is up to no good. In more recent stories, an account in an offshore tax haven, such as the Cayman Islands or Panama may be substituted. In real life, the usefulness of these numbered accounts is limited, due to how hard it is to get one nowadays. The Swiss, well aware of their banks' increasing reputation as havens for no-good-niks (not particularly helped by their willingness to stash Nazi Gold, though they were originally formed to help people hide money from The Gestapo), require numerous references and a general OK from the person's country of origin. You can certainly get an account with a Swiss Bank - although if you're a foreign national, the bank will take a copy of your residence permit and passport details - but it will just be a regular bank account in Switzerland, not this trope. Some of the original anonymous accounts that gave rise to this trope do apparently still exist, but under current regulations they cannot be transferred to other people, so - eventually - every one of them will be closed. In any case, truly anonymous bank accounts are a thing of fiction. Even if protected by a code number, the identity of the client (and usually the source of the funds as well) is known by the chairman and high-ranking personnel of the bank, either in Switzerland or other tax havens. Money laundering and stashing of dubious funds are the province of professional accountants, finance experts, and (of course) lawyers, who know how to give a decent face to the business they manage. Don't try to just approach a bank with a Briefcase Full of Money and no plausible story and expect it to work.note Many countries have laws that require the reporting of all deposits of certain amounts (in the US, it's $10,000) to the government anyway, and attempting to get around them is illegal under structuring laws. Despite the name of the trope, any work that uses an offshore account with loose rules as a point of interest to the audience coming from any country can qualify. Heck, the country itself doesn't have to be mentioned, and it can even be a Fictional Province. See here for more Real Life information about Switzerland. Examples

Once it becomes obvious that they're going to fail at the mission, he transfers all the money to an account he set up for himself. In Clear and Present Danger, the mystique of this trope is bluntly deconstructed, not only because the Cartel having their drug accounts in Swiss banks does nothing to protect them from seizure once their illegality is discovered, but it's explicitly pointed out the only thing that makes the banks more secure is that fact the countries they reside in weren't invaded as much, giving the illusion of security.

Swiss Bank Account / int_5ada53ed	comment	James Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me: After the two scientists complete the submarine tracking system, Stromberg transfers $10 million into their Swiss bank accounts. He then kills them, and cancels the transfers. In Octopussy it's mentioned that the anonymous seller offering a Faberge egg for auction at Sotheby has a numbered Swiss bank account. That doesn't stop MI6's art expert from guessing (correctly) that the seller is Russian, given that the eggs haven't come from any legitimate source and therefore must have been smuggled out from behind the Iron Curtain. The Banco De Isthmus in Licence to Kill is clearly one of these, since they're owned by the local drug lord Franz Sanchez, and don't even blink when Bond deposits over four million dollars in cash. They also have some sort of 'arrangement' with the Casino, which is also owned by Sanchez. The page quote is from the pre-title sequence to The World Is Not Enough, as Bond confronts a Swiss banker in Bilbao, Spain, trying to retrieve money stolen from British oil magnate Sir Robert King. Casino Royale (2006) has a minor example of this. The $100 million pot for the winnings of the poker tournament is held by a Swiss bank, with Monsieur Mendel as the account manager. Rather than a secret, numbered account, it is simply an escrow account, where all the player's buy-in cash is held, with the bank itself being chosen because it's impartial and secure.

Swiss Bank Account / int_812165e3	comment	In the game Tropico, one of the scoring metrics is how much money you can embezzle into your Swiss bank account. El Presidente can earn funds through the Building Permit edict (which increases all building costs by 20% to earn 10% of the cost), setting childhood museums to "Retirement Fund" mode, setting the customs office to "Customs Duty Evasion" (which requires paying customs officers $25 each to keep quiet), setting banks to "Slush Fund" mode (which only works while the treasury is positive), turning ruins into excavation sites, and building the mausoleum. Until the Modern Times expansion, there was no use for the Swiss account. In Modern Times, a minimum Swiss bank balance is required to upgrade the palace to a presidency and set water treatment plants, sanatoria, and SWAT HQs to "Happy Powder," "Psych Ward," and "Personal Death Squad" modes.

Swiss Bank Account / int_84237ed	comment	Jordan Belfort of The Wolf of Wall Street fame got done in this way. Steve Madden was a designer of women's shoes, and a childhood friend of Jordan Belfort's business partner Danny Porush. In 1993, Belfort and Proush's brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont took Madden's shoe company public. Thing is, Belfort, Porush and Madden owned the majority of the company's shares, which was a severe violation of federal law. When the Strattonites drove up the value of the stock, they got rich in the process.note This was just one of many companies they repeated this fraud with; it's just the only company that was actually viable, making it an arguable (at least for Mr Madden) mild case of Springtime for Hitler. In order to hide his ill-gotten gains, Belfort smuggled cash to a Swiss bank. He disguised them under the name of an aunt of his wife Nadine, by convincing them he just wished to avoid paying taxes. How he smuggled the money was through his drug dealer Todd Garrett, whose wife conveniently happened to hold Swiss citizenship. Belfort was able to convince her and her family to hide the money in their luggage. They ultimately smuggled over $3 million into Swiss bank accounts before Belfort was busted by the FBI. To get a lighter sentence, Jordan agreed to wear a wire and rat out his friends and colleagues.

He and each of the men on his team gets one to hold their accumulated salary, and the other receives $250,000 for operational expenses. The Mossad accountant sternly tells him to keep receipts to justify using the unlimited funds. He left out the bit where Mossad has the authority to remove the funds from their accounts, which they do after the protagonist decides to quit.

That doesn't stop MI6's art expert from guessing (correctly) that the seller is Russian, given that the eggs haven't come from any legitimate source and therefore must have been smuggled out from behind the Iron Curtain.

Swiss Bank Account / int_97a70962	comment	Standard means of paying for dubious services in The Professionals. In "Slush Fund", CI5 detain a South African hitman as he enters the country. In "When the Heat Cools Off", Bodie and Doyle search the apartment of a witness and find the number of a Swiss bank account taped underneath a drawer. Turns out it was planted there to make it look like the witness was bribed into giving false testimony. In "Not A Very Civil Civil Servant", a high-ranking bureaucrat has a cozy relationship with a Corrupt Corporate Executive in the building industry who comments: "Your Swiss bank must be having to build an extension. Or is it Liechtenstein?" A variation occurs in "The Untouchables" where Bodie (posing as the middleman for a contract killing) insists on being paid in Swiss francs. However in this case it's to leave a money trail as the person paying for the hit has to make special arrangements to get the money converted after the banks have closed.
