Alpian

Alpian is Switzerland's first fully digital bank and holds a FINMA banking license, offering accounts in CHF, EUR, USD, and GBP. The onboarding process is done entirely by video and available in multiple languages, making it accessible for relocating expats who need to set up banking quickly without branch visits.

Ideal if you need fast account setup and want to manage multi-currency accounts to handle income or spending across borders. The digital-first model suits expats who prefer mobile banking and don't need physical branch access, though it may not fit those wanting face-to-face service or complex wealth management.
