- You want EUR and USD IBANs alongside GBP
- You're a UK LLP or sole trader, or a Swiss GmbH, AG or sole trader
- You're comfortable with safeguarding instead of FSCS cover

Keeping business money separate from personal money makes bookkeeping and tax easier for a Swiss sole proprietorship. The accounts below accept Swiss sole traders.
