Inbound card transfers
What is an inbound card transfer?
An inbound card transfer is a specific type of transaction where funds are sent or 'pushed' directly into your card, rather than your main bank account details (like an IBAN), increasing your available balance.
Inbound card transfers work in the opposite way to payments or debits. They're often used for payments between friends or for payouts from certain merchants and platforms.
Limits and restrictions
Payments initiated via inbound card transfer from unsupported countries will fail.
You can receive inbound transfers to your card from senders in supported countries. A 31-day rolling limit of Fr. 10,000 applies to these transfers.
You can also fund your account or receive money from a bank transfer — share your IBAN to receive money directly to your account.
