Opening a PostFinance account without a passport?

Hi!

I just got my first job in Switzerland, along with the 90 day work permit and my employment contract. I have no Swiss address yet.

I'd like to open a PostFinance account for my salary, but my passport is currently in the making, so right now I have only my Hungarian ID card. As an EU citizen, is my ID card eligible or do I need a passport anyway to open an account?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure an ID would work. The more important document, in your case, is your residence permit.

You will have to have an address (the address on your residence permit?).

Thank you for your answer Thetownclownsa!

My 90 day permit has my Hungarian address on it as far I as remember (I don't have it in my hands right now) which should be fine, my relatives who reside here for a long time had their PF accounts opened with a foreign address.
