Bespoke Gateway

Your guided entry into Swiss banking

Compliance Onboarding under VQF SRO standards · two paths from there: direct or fiduciary, calibrated to your file.

Why you need us

In a competitive Swiss banking market, GCC clients face structural friction at the onboarding gate. Bespoke Gateway is the structured response.

Even qualified applicants are routinely rejected at retail-direct onboarding. Banks bear meaningful internal cost (~CHF 5,000) per cross-border KYC file; conversion is selective; the criteria are opaque. Without preparation, the path is high-friction and uncertain.

Bespoke Gateway packages your file to Swiss-bank standards once — and that file then opens doors across our partner banks. You walk in with our reach, not as a single retail file.


Step 1 — Compliance Onboarding

One regulatory clearance file under VQF SRO. Transferable across our partner banks.

We prepare a complete AML/KYC file structured to Swiss-bank standards: identity, source-of-wealth pack, family-and-business structure, jurisdictional flags. Reviewed once at Rahim Invest under VQF SRO discipline; ready to be presented across banks without re-onboarding at each placement.

What you provide

A tailored documentation set

Scoped to your profile — our compliance team specifies the exact pack after the initial call. Generic categories: identity, source of wealth, business and family structure.

What we deliver

Regulatory clearance file transferable across banks

Packaged to Swiss-bank standards. Reviewed once under VQF SRO discipline. Persists across our partner banks — no re-onboarding at each placement.

Two paths from there

After Compliance Onboarding, the file fits one of two destinations — based on your profile and the bank's posture.

Path 1 — Direct

Direct bank account

When the file fits direct retail onboarding at a partner bank.

After onboarding you become a direct client of the bank. Standard banking relationship; we step back from the day-to-day. Rahim Invest remains your counterpart for compliance, advisory, and future structural needs.

Path 2 — Fiduciary

Fiduciary placement through Rahim Invest

When you choose mandate or direct access does not fit.

Rahim Invest places funds at offshore branches under our name, for your account. VStG Art. 13 withholding-tax exemption activates; OR Art. 400 pass-through preserves your beneficial ownership. The structural advantages compound here.


The structural advantage (Path 2)

Two pillars compound when you take the fiduciary path: economics and discretion.

Tax efficiency
35%

Swiss withholding — recovered, not lost.

On a USD 10,000,000 placement at 4%:

Year 1: ≈ USD 140,000

Year 5: ≈ USD 700,000

Year 10: ≈ USD 1,400,000

Most banks do not volunteer this to foreign clients. As your fiduciary, we do.

Legal: VStG Art. 13 · SBA Directive on Fiduciary Investments 2016.

Discretion

Off the bank's register.

  • Bank sees us, not you. Rahim Invest is account-holder of record; you remain beneficial owner in our internal books.
  • Operations under our name. RM, transactions, SWIFT, counterparties — all flow as Rahim Invest.
  • UBO sits in compliance vault. Held separately from operational records.
