Who owns the banks in Switzerland?
Most banks are owned by shareholders. The big banks are owned by private shareholders, while the cantonal banks are wholly or majority-owned by the cantons. But there are also some private banks owned by a few individuals forming a partnership.
Who is allowed to set up a bank in Switzerland nowadays?
Anyone who meets the statutory conditions and obtains authorization from the Federal Banking Commission may open a bank in Switzerland. The conditions for authorization, which are laid down in the Banking Law, are strict, as savers and investors need to be protected. For example, a bank must show that it has a sound organizational structure and the required minimum capital. Also, those entrusted with its administration and management must "enjoy a good reputation and thereby assure the proper conduct of business operations."
3. Products

Persepolice Bank is committed to fully complying with the laws and regulations and the Right to Financial Privacy Act that have been established to protect the confidentiality of customer information. A bank should and indeed must be primarily a provider of services. Our market success is gauged first and foremost by how well it performs this function. The yardstick is customer satisfaction, to which we at Persepolicebank are wholeheartedly committed.
We see ourselves as an efficient provider of financial services for demanding private customers in Europe. We are also the creative relationship bank for the successful Europe Mittelstand , for major corporate and institutions in Europe as well as multinationals from all over the world.

In corporate business, we also look upon Western, Central and Eastern Europe as our core market and North America as well.
As with many other specialty items, a key approach in targeting future customers is advertising in trade publications and trade shows. This allows the customer to compare the quality and prices.

5. Strategy and implementation summary

The set-up of any company in Switzerland progresses naturally in several stages. There exists official companies that will make this service and will be there every step of the way to eliminate any problems of a practical nature and thus allow us to focus our efforts on managing your business. They can take charge of the entire procedure and make our transition to Switzerland as quick and agreeable as possible.

Swiss cantons are very different in terms of language, culture and taxation. Major factors such as the proximity of airports and highways aside, there are many subtle distinctions that make the comparison of different areas in Switzerland indispensable before settling there.

We can wait until obtaining the residence permit before incorporating a Swiss company. We have the choice of forming a business corporation (100,000 Swiss francs of registered capital, of which 50,000 francs must be released at the time of the incorporation) or a limited liability company (20,000 Swiss francs of registered capital). Once they have checked that the company name is free, and the articles of incorporation, the administrators and the incorporators have been chosen, and the capital has been deposited, the company can generally be incorporated in less than two weeks..
Once we have their premises, there are still a number of things to deal with before we can begin to work: telephone lines, fax, photocopiers, computers, furniture, Internet connections, cleaning services, etc. They can save us precious time by giving us the benefit of our experience to find the best suppliers and service providers for the best price.

As the head of a business, we would no doubt rather concentrate on developing our new company than spend time running about after apartments, schools, cars, telephones, etc. Let them handle things, and that way we can get to work without delay.

Persepolis trust services
The purpose of this part is to provide several of the most important of the non deposit financial services of our project. banks has faced an increasingly intense struggling recent years to attract funds needed to make loans and investments and boost revenues .one of the most fertile fields for greater future growth in bank revenues and profits has appeared to many bankers to be non deposit
bank service lines including many new non traditional bank service offerings. these nontraditional bank services include fees generated by offering trust services to businesses and households ; by executing customer orders for purchases and sales of stocks, bonds and mutual funds ;and by selling insurance related products such as life and casualty insurance policies ,annuities and retirement plans .

In trust services we manage the properties owned by bank customers, such as securities, land,
Buildings, and other investments .in trust department we will generate very large deposits because we manage properties for the customers which usually include business firms, units of governments,
individuals and families ,and charities and foundations .our trust department function in a tremendous variety of roles. it routinely serve as executers or administers of wills, identifying , inventorying .trust department act as agent for companies and need to service security issues ,such as issuing new stock, and issuing retiring bonds for client firms .and often manage the pension or retirement plans of both businesses and individuals .

Persepolis brief description
I am going to describe briefly the products and services of the Persepolis project .
first let me go through the name of Persepolis . I am going to replace the name Persepolis
by the similar one Persepolis which is more convenient . As I told we have to offer several
names in the registration of the company and it will be searched if it would not have any conflict
with other intellectual properties .i think our first offer may be Persepolis . The cause of the choice
of this name was that i was going to use a very beautiful home page of Persepolis historical
place for the bank home page website . May be I select another name. because I am also going to set up this bank in a complete American manner and style .

For the bank products in the first step are the retail banking services that we can even copy from other banks. Perhaps we may choose some lower prices for encouraging the clients .let me list
these products as I remember . May be some details be added
1. Carry out transfer between accounts
2. Creative payments and salary lists
3. Receive and pay e-bills
4. Check balance of accounts and safekeeping accounts
5. Personal loans
6. Credit cards
7. Mortgages
8. Savings
9. Retirement planning
10. Personal internet banking
11. Insurance
12. Investment advisory
13. Managing many ATMs and their cards services
14. Online banking services, mobile banking, telephone banking services.
15. Mobile banking services
16. Managing automatic loan machines
17. Managing self services machine

For investment banking we offer securities products and financial advisory services to corporations, governments and institutional investors. Products and services include debt and equity underwriting, sales and trading mergers and acquisitions, investment research, correspondent and brokerage services.

We will be a service provider and offer also direct investments services to clients to invest in
Forex and stock markets. We will provide brokerage services to invest in all the stock exchanges
And provide online trading, investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management, international estate planning.

In asset management we will manage portfolios, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles for a board spectrum of clients ranging governments, institutions, corporations to private individuals.

in the forex case we will be an international broker in forex .I am considering this for the next several years program and do not expect to do so at the first step because this needs much funding for example more than 500 bn usd . This is because in forex positions the amount of
each position will be multiplicated by 50 and this needs a huge back up of assets . For example if you study internax it has at the moment 700 bn asset under management . Although there exists
some companies with 300 or 350 bn usd that have some smaller and restricted motivations in forex and stock investment .our mutual fund part is also a subsidiary of this part .

In business and commercial port we offer full range of commercial financial and lending services for small to large sized businesses .with many customers around the globe and a major presence
In a range of markets we have considerable scope for economies of sale and sharing of best practice.
