Verification & Due Diligence in Geneva

Geneva is the other half of Swiss private banking, and the diplomatic capital of Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, commodities, watchmaking and international institutions, and the members we look after here are typically principals with banking relationships and often a residence nearby.

What you need to know about a counterparty before the second meeting. We verify identity, corporate record, litigation history and reputation through documented sources, and tell you what could not be established as clearly as what could.

Practically, an international airport with one of Europe's busiest business aviation terminals, and the watch and commodity trades both run through here.

Most of what we arrange here runs between Geneva and India. That means one desk holding both ends, so nothing is lost between an adviser there and a counterparty here, and neither side is left waiting on the other's working hours.

Held locally

How this works in Geneva.

  • Requests from Geneva reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
  • Every check is lawful and the subject is never approached.
  • Where something cannot be arranged in Geneva on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.

Questions, answered once

Verification & Due Diligence in Geneva, without the theatre.

What can be verified about a counterparty in Switzerland?

We verify identity, corporate record, litigation history and reputation through documented sources, and tell you what could not be established as clearly as what could. Every check is lawful and the subject is never approached.

How long does a check on a Geneva business take?

It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.

Is the subject told they are being checked?

Discretion is the default. Nothing about the arrangement is shared beyond the people carrying it out, and nothing is disclosed to a counterparty without your instruction.

What sources are used beyond public records?

We verify identity, corporate record, litigation history and reputation through documented sources, and tell you what could not be established as clearly as what could. Every check is lawful and the subject is never approached.
