She also needs a work visa. can anyone make suggestions hoiw to do that too?

Those are the "Two Big Banks" and probably your safest bet. IIRC you need a deposit of 5,000 Swiss Francs to open an account with UBS.
There are other smaller banks, too but YMMV with them.
American Express traveler's checks are probably a better option than a bank account, though.
