Settling In Switzerland: Registration, Bank Account, Utilities and Insurance
Read Briefing
For more than 35 years, we have helped families and professionals settle into Switzerland – with commitment, agility, trust and listening.
Founded in 1990 by Catherine Burrus, Welcome Service was built to bridge the gap between global ambition and local stability for those moving to Switzerland.
In a digital world, we believe the best Swiss relocation services are built on human relationships. This philosophy is now championed by Catherine's children, Laetitia Papilloud and Guillaume Bédat, ensuring continuity of personal, attentive support.
We don't process applications — we walk alongside families through real life transitions. Every client is welcomed into our tradition of Swiss excellence.
