A Swiss bank account, dollface, is an account in a bank in Switzerland.
Such accounts are misleadingly named, since all Swiss bank accounts (and, for that matter, all American bank accounts) are numbered; the difference with the ones in question is that they are referred to solely by number, rather than by name and number, in the course of the bank's internal bookkeeping operations.
The secrecy for which Swiss bankers are renowned extends to all their accounts, not just numbered ones; under Swiss law, the disclosure of any information about an account, including such elementary facts as whether it even exists, is a crime, except as ordered by the Swiss courts.

 Swiss Bank Account Secrecy
Swiss banks owe a duty of confidentiality to their account holders.[9] This obligation is imposed on bankers in three distinct areas of Swiss law.
A banker may disclose account holder information when: (i) such disclosures are mandated by law; (ii) a public duty to disclose exists; (iii) the bank’s interests necessitate disclosure; or (iv) the account holder, expressly or impliedly, consents.[90] Because of these broad exceptions, the Tournier-based banking "secrecy" in the United States failed to amount to much.
