FINMA oversight · Boutique discretion · Status expertise (CD / CC / IO)
Mandat Genève protects the privileges and optimises the wealth of diplomats and international civil servants posted to Switzerland. We translate the complexity of Swiss federal law into seamless compliance solutions for your household. From your legitimation card to your end-of-mission arbitrages, your capital remains sovereign.
§ 01 · The bureau in one paragraph
Based at the heart of International Geneva, Mandat Genève acts as the institutional interface between accredited personnel and the Swiss financial market. From the day the legitimation card is issued, through the active years of the posting, and up to the closure of the mission, the bureau translates Swiss regulation into a clear set of choices, in the working language of the mission, under formal federal oversight.
Our position rests on independence and proximity. Drawing on the infrastructure of a major independent Geneva brokerage, the bureau combines the discretion of a boutique practice with the institutional negotiating power of the Swiss market. More than thirty institutions are placed in competition on each file to secure the structure and the price that fit a diplomatic profile.
Do not navigate the Swiss system alone. The initial assessment session is confidential, included in our onboarding protocol, and concludes with a written brief that the mission can act on at its own pace.
§ 02 · Accreditation & regulatory compliance
Registered with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Each recommendation issued to an accredited mission falls under federal oversight, with full transparency and protection of diplomatic capital.
Swiss benchmark certification confirming advanced expertise in the insurance regimes that govern diplomatic and international-organisation personnel, with the professional ethics required to serve the corps.
Strict professional secrecy and Swiss-only data sovereignty under the Federal Act on Data Protection, applied with the discretion expected of any counterpart to an accredited mission.
§ 03 · Four audiences, one bureau
Each entry below opens a dedicated diplomatic practice, with its own protocol, its own toolbox and its own conversation. The mission audit always starts there.
For holders of legitimation cards B, C and K. The bureau defends the immunities at every Swiss counter, secures the LAMal exemption, and engineers wealth structures that follow the next posting.
For administrative, technical and locally engaged mission staff on cards D, E and P, plus international civil servants in Geneva. Affordable private health, portable savings, and a clear route through the 2026 legitimation reform.
For accompanying spouses on Ci permits, dependants and family entrepreneurs of accredited missions. The Ci transition into Swiss tax law becomes an opportunity, with full Pillar 3a optimisation and business set-up guidance.

§ The bureau
Mandat Genève exists because accredited missions, international civil servants and their accompanying families require a level of precision and discretion that traditional Swiss institutions are not built to deliver. Banking hours do not align with the operating tempo of a mission. The bureau closes that gap, one legitimation card at a time.
No product is discussed before the diplomatic privileges of the mission have been mapped against the Swiss rules in force. The resulting structure is compliant by default and engineered to capture every fiscal and legal advantage the legitimation card grants.
The career takes the mission across the globe. The wealth needs a stable anchor in Geneva. The bureau acts as the permanent financial anchor, from accreditation to closure, with assets engineered to travel with the next posting.
The discretion of a private office paired with the institutional weight of a Swiss brokerage. The bureau's accredited brokerage alliance opens the full Swiss financial market through a single, confidential point of contact.
Mandat Genève was founded to sit between the Swiss financial system and the diplomatic community that makes Geneva its place of mission. Switzerland is one of the most stable jurisdictions in the world in which to anchor wealth, yet its administration can be opaque to anyone entering with a foreign status. That friction is the work of the bureau, every day.Mathias Guillermet — Founder & Diplomatic Advisor · CICERO 43076 · FINMA F01506548
The bureau does more than place insurance contracts. It aligns every component of the financial setup with the legitimation card, from a health coverage calibrated to the specific exemption to investments that preserve the tax privileges of the mission. What the diplomat receives, ultimately, is the precision and the clarity required to operate in Geneva with confidence.
§ 04 · A complex regime
For diplomats, mission staff and accompanying spouses, immunity and exemption are granted, not assumed. They have to be documented, defended at the counter, and rebuilt every time a card changes. A confidential audit closes the gap before the canton, the bank or the insurer reads your status incorrectly.
