SWISS BANKERS KNOW WHY THEY TURN AMERICANS AWAY !

The U.S. ambassador to Switzerland has complained that Swiss bank have stopped serving U.S. clients. Surely, a slap in the face for Swiss banking, which has just emerged from years of relentless pounding by U.S. authorities.

The recipients will have relished leaking it to the press: Suzan LeVine, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, recently sent a letter of complaint to a number of Swiss banks, according to a report by «Handelszeitung».

The top U.S. representative in Switzerland deplored the fact that Swiss banks closed the accounts of U.S. citizens and turned away new clients. LeVine wrote that she had received numerous letters from fellow Americans complaining that they didn't have access to basic banking services in Switzerland.

LeVine continued to offer her advise to the Swiss banks and finally suggested a meeting to discuss the rules and procedures in dealing with U.S. customers.
The letter was sent to numerous banks, for instance Migros Bank and at least to one bank that still awaits a fine in connection with the tax dispute in the U.S., according to the «Handelszeitung» report.
