Simple for everyone

No need for
a Swiss bank account

A virtual IBAN (vIBAN) is a personal Swiss IBAN provided free of charge when you register. It acts as a dedicated transit account to receive your funds in Swiss francs, convert them at a competitive exchange rate and transfer them directly to your account in euros, US dollars or pounds sterling.

What’s included with the Swimo vIBAN

  • No setup fees or monthly charges
  • Competitive exchange rates
  • Automatic transfer within 24–48 hours

What the Swimo vIBAN does not provide

  • Long-term fund storage or deposit services
  • Transfers to or from third parties
