Same as anyone else does! \nWhy would they not?\nWe live in a global economy; 24/7. \nIt matters not where in the world someone is, or what currency they use. As long as they have a globally recognised card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex etc) they can use on-line brokerages, (most of whom are also global) to trade on any market they want. The French bank that I work for in Italy, allows it's customers (including on-line customers) to trade on all major stock markets, around the clock.

Of course you can, as long as you aren't into illegal activity, like laundering. Banks prefer you deposit the cash, they make money on it, you make money on it everybody is happy!

They imagine that our fate is tied to that of the rest of the world. It is probably very little money compared to the numbers flowing through. Security in the world means less problems that will come to us. As a world leader we must somewhat appease the envy and jealousy that many have for us even if it can be costly. Fighting diseases in other places is also in our interest to stop before it becomes an epidemic that affects us directly or stews and grows mutating into something far more deadly to us all.

Go to switzerland and open an account. the account opening does not get reported to anybody. there is really no mystery to it at all. It is as easy to open as an account here in the states. btw....swiss accounts are much more transparent than in the old days. you have been reading some old books....

I like this question and feel stupid that I don't know the answer. I should have taken that class on Central Banks. My guess is that it is a combination of the money supply, interest rates and government assets held (tresuries) by other countries.

Although I'm Swiss, I have no idea.\n\nYou surely should know some reasons why you want to study at a certain university (seen the website??) and why you want to come to Switzerland at all.\n\nPerhaps you should get some basic information about Switzerland, either in Wikipedia or via other websites.

Most banks in other than very rural areas are able to do this, but it may take them some time, if they don't do it regularly.  It may depend on which currency is being exchanged, too.

Make sure the nation you open the bank in doesn't require ridiculous payments to the government because your hard-earned money is YOUR hard-earned money. I'd say try a nation that may be having a little of trouble economically so that the people there would like to keep their finances safe and in a bank. Good interest rates would help in that situation and try to make fees as low as possible without losing money as a result.

unfortunately, this is true for most people; even those who are doing seemingly good things (working for a charity, helping oversees, etc) are in for some sort of financial reason.  famous people who donate money to charity or help in a 3rd world country can not only get more publicity, which boosts their salaries, but they get major tax breaks for this sort of thing.

The cheapest serious place for a so-called private credit within Switzerland (provided you are officially living here) is the Migrosbank. There are several subsidiaries in the whole country.
