Reliability rating of European banks

Nowadays, many modern people worry about what the future holds for them. They worry not only about their family, but also about their property and accumulated capital. Of course, you may also meet people who are not at all worried about their financial well-being. Most of them are experts in this field, who even in the event of a loss, will be able to easily earn money.

No one wants to lose their money, so people are looking for the most reliable financial institutions that will help save their capital. These organizations include European banks.

If you often listen to the news, you should know that bank secrecy is no longer respected in Switzerland. Your actions can be monitored by authorized bodies. Of course, it is unpleasant to realize this fact. However, despite this, banks in Europe are considered the most reliable.

Below you can find the rating of European banks. When compiling the list, the following information was taken into account::

• size of the institution,
• financial assets,
• participation in ratings of leading analytical organizations in Europe.

If earlier many people believed that Switzerland is a legendary country where you can hide from tax audits, now the situation is completely different. In our rating, only one bank out of ten is located on the territory of this state.

How to choose a Bank of Europe?

There are situations when a person urgently needs to open an account with one of the European banks. Implementing this event is not as easy as it may seem in reality. Opening an account somewhere in Germany or Switzerland no longer seems like a fantastic idea to residents of the former Soviet Union. Both legal entities and individuals may need financial services from foreign banking institutions. The latter apply to a foreign bank if they want to save their savings, or they live outside their country. Entrepreneurs cooperate with European banks to enter the foreign market.

If earlier banks fought for each client and provided them with the most favorable conditions, now the situation has radically changed. To use the services of foreign banks, it is necessary to make considerable efforts. But even difficult conditions do not deter citizens of the former Soviet Union. In addition, the benefits that a private or corporate client receives more than compensate for any inconvenience.

Below is a list of the most reliable banking institutions.
