The European Union is considering keeping track of its citizens' wealth in an central register, something Swiss bankers should take seriously.
A tender for a feasibility study by the bloc on a potential asset register has sparked fears about the prospect of citizens having to account for every last cent.
If those fears turn out to be true, Swiss banks should also take fright.
After the EU interest payment agreement of 2005 and the automatic exchange of bank customer data (AEOI) that has been in force between Switzerland and the EU since 2017, the vestiges of privacy still defended by Swiss financial institutions would come under massive pressure.
There are even plans for the feasibility study on the asset register to look into how precious metals, digital currencies and art can be registered.
