A PERSONAL COMMITMENT
Experience, with a human perspective.
Hans-Olav Eldring brings a private-banking perspective to the decisions that accompany a move to Switzerland.
His professional background includes Credit Suisse’s ultra-high-net-worth client segment, where his appointment was reported by WealthBriefing in 2013. That experience provides a relevant foundation for understanding the international lives and expectations of private clients.
At Fjord & Alps, the focus is personal: understanding your priorities, coordinating the right specialists and bringing continuity to each stage of your relocation.

04 — A CONSIDERED PROCESS
From possibility to everyday life.
A clear sequence. A single conversation running through it.
Understand
We begin with your family, your timetable and what a successful move means to you. Together, we define the questions that need answering before decisions are made.
Coordinate
We bring property, residence, banking and specialist legal or tax advice into one plan. Each workstream has an owner, with decisions and dependencies kept in view.
Establish
We coordinate the practical steps of arrival and settlement. Where an ongoing mandate is agreed, local representation and property oversight continue beyond the move.
05 — PRIVATE ENQUIRY
A conversation. In confidence.
Every relationship begins with a thoughtful exchange. Tell us a little about what comes next.
