Best Swiss bank for salary, investing, and transfers to Italy?
Hi everyone, I’m 29 and moving to Lugano soon.
I’m looking for advice on the most efficient banking setup to manage my finances in Switzerland without wasting money on fees.
My main requirements:
- Salary account: A reliable account (digital is fine) with low or no monthly maintenance fees.
- Investing: I need a broker or integrated account to invest in Stocks/ETFs with low management and trading costs.
- Transfers to Italy: I’ll need to send money to Italian bank accounts regularly. I’m looking for the best exchange rates and lowest fees (dual IBAN solutions or similar tools).
What would you recommend to a newcomer?
Should I go with a traditional bank or a Neon/Yuh combo?
Also, is it better to use an external broker for investments?
Thanks in advance for the help!
