    It seems that many Switzerland banks demands you to prove the source of your funds which is an annoyance and the jersey islands asks for a lot of documents, does anyone know which country demands the least on documents and offers a strong online banking service?
     
  2. if you're a US citizen, I think you'll find the patriot act and anti-terrorism legislation regarding US funding held overseas will make opening an account with a solid, reputable banking institution very difficult unless you are prepared to prove source of funds or provide "excessive documentation"
