Relocating to Switzerland, where to open personal account?

[CoinMaster]

I'm planning to relocate to Switzerland in the next 2 - 3 months. Since I know it is almost impossible to get a bank account there, I wonder where do I open a personal account?

Does someone has input for me which bank to try?

This blog is quite good for comparisons between banks\brokers if you're a Swiss resident:

My goal with this blog is to help you achieve your financial goals. Many people are not educated enough about money, and people in Switzerland do not talk
