Very good point. In Switzerland, if you have a US passport, it is pretty difficult to open a bank account and/or get financial advice. Apparently bank/advisors can get into trouble for reasons I am not well up to date.

Yup. People with dual citizenship ("American" and "Swiss") living and working in Switzerland, have a hard time opening a bank account due to their American citizenship.
