Opening an account with Banque Richelieu Switzerland (SWITZERLAND)

Banque Richelieu (Switzerland) Ltd is a Swiss private bank headquartered in Zurich that specializes in private banking, wealth management, and investment solutions for international clients.

The bank is part of Groupe Banque Richelieu, an international banking group operating in private banking, asset management, and investment banking. In July 2025, Groupe Banque Richelieu completed the acquisition of the Swiss private bank Kaleido Private Bank, after which the Swiss entity began operating under the name Banque Richelieu Switzerland.

The name change does not mean a new banking institution was created: Banque Richelieu (Switzerland) Ltd is the same Swiss banking entity that previously operated under the name Kaleido Privatbank AG. That is why clients who previously searched for Kaleido Privatbank may now come across the current name, Banque Richelieu (Switzerland).

Today, Groupe Banque Richelieu positions the Swiss entity as the group's strategic presence in Switzerland. Its areas of work include wealth management, investment advisory, portfolio management, access to international financial markets, cash management, private equity, and private banking lending solutions.

Banque Richelieu (Switzerland) offers private banking and wealth management services for international clients. Opening an account at the Swiss bank is possible after an individual assessment of the client, their financial profile, ownership structure, activities, and sources of funds.

The possibility of opening a bank account in Switzerland for a non-resident, including a client from Ukraine, is determined on an individual basis. The final decision on opening an account is made by the bank after conducting a KYC/AML review.
