Swissquote Launches TWINT Mobile Payment App

August 09, 2022 - Swissquote has announced it will launch its own TWINT app as a payment solution for its clients. This new feature marks one step further towards being a universal bank for private clients and will be available for all eTrading-account holders free of charge.

With more than four million active users, TWINT is the leading payment app in Switzerland. With TWINT, users can make convenient and secure payments via smartphone – at the cash register in a supermarket, in online shops, when shopping at a farm shop, on public transport, when parking, or peer-to-peer.

As of 9 August 2022, Swissquote will launch its own TWINT app. To use Swissquote TWINT, clients will need to have an eTrading account at Swissquote as well as a Smartphone with an iOS (version 13.0 onwards) or Android operating system installed (version 7 onwards), including bluetooth (version 4.0 onwards).

“Launching Swissquote TWINT is the next logical step towards our goal of becoming the first bank for our clients, also concerning mobile payment. And we are very happy to have TWINT as a strong partner.” says Marc Bürki, CEO of Swissquote.

To register, Swissquote clients need to download the Swissquote TWINT app via the App Store or Google Play Store. After activating the app, they will automatically be guided through the registration process. Transactions with TWINT are free of charge for all eTrading-account holders, be it for POS or peer-to-peer transactions. (In some rare cases, partners may add small charges, i.e. for cash withdrawal or ticket-free parking).
