Swiss bank - Swissginkou (English spelling) Swiss bank

Japanese: スイス銀行 - スイスぎんこう(英語表記)Swiss bank
Swiss bank - Swissginkou (English spelling) Swiss bank
There is a bank with the same name, but the term is more commonly used to mean "a Swiss bank." In Switzerland, an account can be opened with just a number and a signature, and confidentiality is extremely strict, so foreign funds often flow in. It is said that more than half of bank accounts are from overseas, and whenever the whereabouts of hidden deposits become a focus of attention, the existence of "Swiss banks" comes into the spotlight.

Japanese:
同名の銀行もあるが,より一般的には「スイスの銀行」の意味で用いられることが多い。スイスでは番号とサインだけで口座が開設でき,また守秘義務がきわめて徹底しているため,外国の資金が流入することが多い。銀行口座の半数以上が海外からのものといわれ,隠し預金の行方が注目される度に「スイス銀行」の存在がクローズアップされる。
