Swiss bank accounts
Numbered offshore deposits
Swiss bank accounts are accounts held at banks in Switzerland, historically known for strict secrecy laws that protected depositors' identities.
The phrase often implies hidden wealth, tax evasion, or illicit funds: The dictator had millions stashed in Swiss bank accounts.
In casual use, it suggests any secretive financial arrangement: He guards his finances like a Swiss bank account.
