You can bank in multiple currencies or choose between them. You can open account by mail and do not need to visit in person unless you want to bank more than $500,000
They have a web page http://www.bdg.com

The Swiss volunteered to partake in the EU Savings Tax Directive as a 'Third Country' effective 1/7/05. So do not be mistaken. If you are an EU 'resident' you have to declare that you have some bank interest income hidden safely away in Switzerland... and have withholding / retention tax applied.
If you are 'non-resident' in EU land and affected areas contact your bank as there is a form to fill...
