Can I open an account, even without being a Swiss national?

    Yes, you can if you live in Switzerland and are a citizen from a EEA country (EU member states, Liechtenstein and Norway). Hope it works for you.

    Seems like the issue was that I am Greek. Why is it currently restricted for Greeks and Icelandic?

    According to this: https://www.moneyland.ch/en/swiss-bank-accounts-for-foreigners

    "There are no laws which forbid Swiss banks from opening accounts for foreigners living in Switzerland, regardless of their citizenship."

    Thus the question arises: Which compliance regulations are you referring to, that does not permit Greeks & Icelanders open up an account?

    I've just tried and it is available now for Greeks.

    Thanks!
