I'm looking for a little help here. I'm trying to collate a list of all of the references to Swiss Banks and Swiss Bank accounts in the James Bond Films and Novels.

So far here is my list:

TSWLM - Stromberg mentions Swiss Bank accounts.
OP - Jim Fanning mentions Swiss Banks (I think).
TWINE - Lachaise as a Swiss Banker in the TWINE PTS.

I'm pretty sure that I'm missing some so I would really appreciate some help with finding the other references to Swiss Banks and their accounts in the Bond films and novels.

Thanking you all. :)

    OHMSS the novel - numerous refrence to Swiss Banks Blofeld "that neirther the first, nor if need be the second bmb will be reendered safe until the money is in the Swiss Banks" Also another part about money from Goa being transfered to 22 Swiss banks just prior to the above.

    Thanks so much, @SiirHilaryBray!

    Yes, I thought that OHMSS would have some references and probably TB the novel too.

    There is a minor reference in chapter 10 OHMSS, pretty much In dicta.

    Ah, I forgot about that one! I knew there was another one I was trying to wrack my brain over. Thanks so much, @yogi1!

    Say…

    Thanks very much for your addition too, @Birdleson! I never realised there was such a reference in TMWTGG novel!

    I'm not very good at double-quoting. It was not meant as a slight! :)

    That's quick service.

    I'm probably off your Christmas card list though...
