Need help with CHF transfers?
What types of transfers can I use to send CHF?
There are three different transfer types: transfers to a Revolut customer, card transfers, and bank transfers.
Sending money to cards is only available to selected users at the moment. Stay tuned!
Who can I send CHF to?
You can send CHF to a beneficiary who has a bank account from Switzerland or Liechtenstein. You can also send CHF to beneficiaries outside of Switzerland or Liechtenstein at a higher fee.
What information do I need about my beneficiary?
To make a transfer to any Revolut customer, you’ll need their phone number or Revtag.
To make an international bank transfer, you’ll typically need the beneficiary’s full name and their IBAN number. The IBAN is usually 21 characters long, starting with CH.
To send money to a card, all you need is the card number and the cardholder’s full name.
How much can I send?
For most currencies, there are no transfer amount limits. Certain currencies might have limits set by our payments partners, which we’re unable to disclose due to compliance reasons.
If you’re making a transfer to a card, transfers to Visa cards are limited to $2,500 (or currency equivalent) per transaction while transfers to Mastercard cards are limited to $5,000 (or currency equivalent) per transaction.
The way we process bank transfers can change depending on the amount. This means that arrival times, intermediary fees charged by other banks and descriptions your beneficiary might see on their statement can differ. We provide more information on this when you make a transfer in the app.
How long does it usually take for the money to arrive?
Transfers to bank accounts
CHF transfers to a bank account domiciled in Switzerland or Liechtenstein typically take a few seconds, but can take up to two workingdays if the beneficiary bank doesn’t support instant payments.
Transfers to cards
Transfers to cards typically take a few minutes but can take up to 30 minutes.
