U.S. Department
of Justice
Swiss Bank Program
The 
Swiss Bank Program, which was announced on August 29, 2013,
provides a path for Swiss banks to resolve potential criminal
liabilities in the United States. Swiss banks eligible to enter
the program were required to advise the department by Dec. 31, 2013,
that they had reason to believe that they had committed tax-related
criminal offenses in connection with undeclared U.S.-related
accounts. Banks already under criminal investigation related to
their Swiss-banking activities and all individuals were expressly
excluded from the program.
The Tax Division made comments on the Swiss Bank program on November 5, 2013, and June 5, 2014.
Under the program, banks are required to:
- Make a complete disclosure of their cross-border activities;
- Provide detailed information on an account-by-account basis for accounts in which U.S. taxpayers have a direct or indirect interest;
- Cooperate in treaty requests for account information;
- Provide detailed information as to other banks that transferred funds into secret accounts or that accepted funds when secret accounts were closed;
- Agree to close accounts of accountholders who fail to come into compliance with U.S. reporting obligations; and
- Pay appropriate penalties.
Swiss banks meeting all of the above requirements are eligible for a non-prosecution agreement.
