UBS Twint Mobile Payments App Becomes Available

UBS TWINT is now available. This means that those with a UBS account can connect it to the app. New: when you pay with UBS TWINT, the amount is debited directly to your bank account – making topping up your credit a thing of the past. Alternatively, you can also save any Swiss credit or prepaid card. This means that UBS TWINT is also available to users without a UBS account.

Further TWINT apps from Swiss banks will be available shortly. BCV TWINT, Credit Suisse TWINT, PostFinance TWINT and Raiffeisen TWINT will be available to download in the early summer.

Tips:

• Do you have a UBS account or a Swiss credit or prepaid card of any kind? If so, download UBS TWINT.
• Do you still have credit on your current TWINT app? If so, you can release the credit: in the app, select 'Release money' under the 'More' menu. You can enter an IBAN here and the credit will subsequently be transferred to an account of your choice. Of course, you can also continue to use the TWINT app in parallel to UBS TWINT until your credit is used up.
