Swiss Pension Payment abroad

Save on exchange rates with the Virtual IBAN

Have you worked in Switzerland and want to enjoy your well-deserved retirement in Europe?

Don’t let bank fees and unfavorable exchange rates reduce your monthly pension payment. With Moneyswapp.com, you can receive your AHV, pension fund or Third Pillar pension directly in Euros, quickly and conveniently, even without having an expensive Swiss bank account!

The smart solution for your Swiss pension

Receiving your Swiss pension payment outside Switzerland can be expensive when relying on traditional banking channels. Banks often apply high spreads to convert your CHF into Euros, along with collection fees that reduce your purchasing power. Even Euro transfers from Switzerland to the Eurozone can be costly.

Without a Swiss bank account!

You do not need a Swiss bank account. Moneyswapp assigns you a free transit virtual IBAN.

Competitive exchange rate:

Much closer to the market exchange rate than traditional banks.

Speed:

We receive your CHF through a Swiss domestic payment and send the Euros to your bank account via SEPA bank transfer.

The Virtual IBAN service by Moneyswapp.com is the perfect solution for cross-border workers’ pensions and for Swiss citizens who decide to move to Europe to enjoy their well-deserved retirement.
