Bonus Chapter: Banking in Liechtenstein

Nestled between Switzerland and Austria, the tiny principality of Liechtenstein has quietly earned a reputation as a global banking hub, rivaling even its Swiss neighbor in discretion and financial sophistication. With a population of just under 40,000, Liechtenstein’s banking sector is disproportionately powerful, offering specialized wealth management services, asset protection, and a legal framework designed for privacy and tax efficiency.

Historically known for its strict banking secrecy laws, Liechtenstein has undergone significant reforms in recent years to comply with international transparency standards while still attracting ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices. Its unique position as both a member of the European Economic Area and a sovereign state with close economic ties to Switzerland allows it to offer clients the best of both worlds—European market access and the famed financial stability of the Swiss franc.
