Liechtenstein Banking

Banking for Liechtenstein foundations and private wealth structures.

Liechtenstein is the foundation jurisdiction. The Stiftung is the workhorse vehicle for private wealth, family ownership and asset structuring. Liechtenstein banks understand foundations natively.

Our flow runs through Liechtenstein trustees, foundation councils and family offices. We open the bank accounts that foundations and related vehicles need to operate.

Foundation banking / Liechtenstein

Banking the Liechtenstein foundation.

A foundation is not a company. It has no shareholders. It has no profit motive. Its purpose is set by its statute, and its administration runs through a foundation council. Most banks outside Liechtenstein struggle to fit foundations into standard onboarding workflows.

Liechtenstein banks live with foundations every day. They have the desks, the documentation expectations and the operational understanding. We open accounts at banks that take foundations seriously, for new structures and for foundations transferring banking arrangements from elsewhere.
