§ Audience 04 · Cross-status catalogue

The diplomatic financial solutions catalogue, Geneva.

A protocol-aligned catalogue of the 2026 solutions the bureau deploys for accredited missions in Geneva, bridging diplomatic privilege and the operating reality of the Swiss financial market. Read it by need rather than by status, and identify the instrument that fits the mission.

Select the mission profile

Ambassadors & Diplomats (B · C · K). Diplomatic Private Health, Pillar 3b as the cornerstone, and the 80% LTV diplomatic mortgage when property is on the agenda. Every recommendation operates within the Accord de Siège.

Open the dedicated practice →

Mission Staff & International Organisations (D · E · P). Fixed-premium private health to step out of the 2026 LAMal hike, Pillar 3b as the mission savings vehicle, and an exit plan baked into every contract from day one.

Open the dedicated practice →

Accompanying Family (Ci permit). Pillar 3a refund engineering, business creation under Raison Individuelle or Sàrl, and the household-coherence overlay that protects the diplomatic side throughout the posting.

Inside the Swiss Special Regime, the word standard rarely serves the mission. Most financial products on this market are calibrated for the ordinary taxpayer and misread a legitimation card by default. The Solution Center exists to give the mission a single-screen overview of every instrument engineered specifically for the diplomatic corps in Geneva.

Every solution below has been built or curated for the legitimation card community. Each is regulated under Swiss law, each combines with the others, and each is delivered by a single point of contact regardless of the audience the mission falls into.

§ 01 · Specialised health

Diplomatic health coverage in Geneva.

Inside the Special Regime, the standard Swiss product is the enemy. The bureau provides the specific insurance bridges the 2026 landscape requires, calibrated to the legitimation card carried by the mission and to the composition of the household.

i

Diplomatic Private Health

Full worldwide coverage with no Swiss LAMal liability, English-speaking case management and a direct line for hospital admissions. Cards B, C, D, E, K and P.

ii

The Ci Transition Plan

A hybrid product for accompanying spouses on Ci that satisfies Swiss law while preserving the privileges granted to the mission. Engineered to absorb the day the Ci permit takes effect.

iii

Student Global Coverage

High-limit protection for dependent children of accredited missions studying in Switzerland or abroad, with the same admission rights at the family clinics.

§ 02 · Strategic wealth & tax neutrality

Capturing growth under the Special Regime.

Since May 2026 the Swiss market has tightened around the standard taxpayer. The bureau structures mission savings to benefit from the diplomatic status rather than be penalised by it, with vehicles that respect the temporary nature of a Geneva posting.

  • 01
    Pillar 3b · the diplomatic cornerstone
    Unrestricted savings, tax-free growth, full portability on rotation. Available to every legitimation card holder and the foundation of most files opened by the bureau.
  • 02
    Pillar 3a · the Ci refund plan
    Reserved for Ci permit holders. The bureau manages the annual contribution and the 2026 retroactive top-up authorised by the Pillar 3a reform.
  • 03
    Capital protection wrappers
    Lump-sum vehicles for mission savings, shielded by Swiss insurance law (LCA) from external creditors and from the federal withholding tax.
  • 04
    Education portfolios
    Dedicated structures for school and university costs of accompanying children, in CHF or in the destination currency, calibrated to the horizon of the mission.

§ 03 · Real estate & institutional loans

Anchoring the mission in Geneva property.

Acquiring property in Geneva as a non-permanent resident requires a counsel fluent in the language of diplomacy when addressing the banks. The bureau negotiates on the mission's terms and assembles files that clear compliance without the immunity clause becoming an obstacle.

  • 01
    The diplomatic mortgage
    Up to 80% loan-to-value financing for CD and BI card holders. The bureau handles the immunity clause negotiation with the Geneva private bank directly.
  • 02
    Lombard loans
    Borrowing against an existing Pillar 3b or investment portfolio at preferential rates, used to fund a Swiss project without touching the underlying capital.
  • 03
    Life insurance amortisation
    Mortgage amortisation funded by the Pillar 3b, creating a dual benefit of family protection and progressive debt reduction over the mission.
  • 04
    Notarial coordination
    Liaison with the Geneva notary, the bank and the canton to compress the timeline between signed offer and registration at the Registre foncier.

§ 04 · Continuity of service

From credentials to closure of the mission.

The advisory does not end with a signature. The bureau manages the financial lifecycle of an international career, from the day the legitimation card is issued to the day the posting closes — and beyond, when the household elects to retire in Switzerland.

i

Arrival

LAMal exemption, bank onboarding under the correct AEOI classification, and the first audit of every policy already in place at the date of accreditation.

ii

Mission

Wealth structuring, business creation for the accompanying spouse, education planning for dependent children, year-round liaison with the canton.

iii

Closure

Conversion of Pillar 3b or 3a, continuity of private health, and the legal architecture that lets the household remain in Geneva or transfer without friction.

§ 05 · Solutions matrix

Every legitimation card, every solution.

A consolidated view of the four flagship solutions, the cards they cover and the 2026 advantage they unlock. The matrix is the entry point. Every file is calibrated individually under counsel.
