Numbered bank account

No, most of the Swiss banks including biggest 2 banks of Switzerland offers numbered account but it isn't something like in the movies. It will only provide privacy from third parties and low-level bank employees. If you go to a bank branch, they can't see your name in the system as well as the account amount. I'm attaching some official source for numbered account prices:

Don't forget, a numbered account won't provide you any privacy or protection from taxman.

The closest thing to a numbered bank account is Monero or darks

I would be very very careful in using darks, because in some countries is a much more serious criminal offence than tax evasion. It's the difference between being fined and going to jail.

Using darks is criminal offence. Using legal service of swiss banks designed by top lawyers and bankers is legal. I understand, that this type of services is for ultra wealthy individuals only. Darks can be used by almost anyone in reality. The difference is in a risk level..

Monero is good. But the difference to bank account is volatility.

Plenty of upside to monero in the medium term I think, the way the space is moving and monero will always have support

The only existing way is Tether but somebody can trace back to you if you are not careful

Tether may ot be a good choice now.

Bitcoin actually is the only one having enough of the security you accrue to tether (decentralized, censorship resistant and distributed and big enough).

While tether is most likely to hold what it promises, it is by no means censorship resistant and have to cooperate once some lettersoup agency knocks on their door. To be fair, they never claimed to be these latter attributes.
tether is friction-less only as long as they are allowed that to be that way. Whereas with Bitcoin, it will be much harder to attack from that angle.
