Good morning Frederik<br>
<br>
I did a compilatory research on what bank other small NGOs in Geneva
are using. So here is what I found:<br>
<br>
Association for the Prevention of Torture is using <i>UBS</i>.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.apt.ch/en/donate/">http://www.apt.ch/en/donate/</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ubs.com/ch/en.html">https://www.ubs.com/ch/en.html</a><br>
<br>
Geneva Call is using <b>for donations in other currencies</b> <i>Banque
Cantonale de Genève</i><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.genevacall.org/donation-bank-transfer/">http://www.genevacall.org/donation-bank-transfer/</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.bcge.ch/">https://www.bcge.ch/</a><br>
<br>
G.R.A.F.E. - Generation, Research, Action and Training for the
Environment is using <i>Postfianance</i><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.assografe.ch/index.php/en/component/content/article/80-resources-financing/84-devenir-membre">http://www.assografe.ch/index.php/en/component/content/article/80-resources-financing/84-devenir-membre</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.postfinance.ch/en.html">https://www.postfinance.ch/en.html</a><br>
<br>
The long list of NGOs in Geneva is here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.genevainternational.org/pages/en/87;Non-Governmental_Organisations">http://www.genevainternational.org/pages/en/87;Non-Governmental_Organisations</a><br>
so such a research could be continued.<br>
<br>
However, there could be something what is not obvious in this
domain. For example, NGOs in Geneva do not buy or hire office
premises from a commercial market, but they do it via special
foundation: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fipoi.ch/en">http://www.fipoi.ch/en</a> with loans for fifty years and
even exceptional grants. Since OSMF is not a commercial company,
there could be also some special rules applicable. You can find more
information at the NGO Service page: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cagi.ch/en/ngo.php">http://www.cagi.ch/en/ngo.php</a> .
This page is on the website of the CAGI (le Centre d'Accueil -
Genève Internationale; eng. Geneva Welcome Centre). It is an
organization, which assists NGOs and International organizations in
such tasks, and it could be the right place to ask about a bank
account.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
