Hi,
BVR (Bulletin de versement) is a very common way to pay in Switzerland. Does Revolut allow this method ? If no, is it in the roadmap with the CH IBAN ?

CH IBAN will automatically make BVR available. You can send to any CH IBAN by filling red BVR with IBAN and address and putting as destination account the post account of the bank in question.
But what about orange BVR if you have to pay a bill?
Why does it matter whether it’s red or orange BVR for top-up? You can fill in either.
I don’t understand your point. The needs is not for topping up (in this thread). I just pointed that you often need to pay with BVR for your electricity, internet… and I don’t know how to do that with Revolut.
Good question. I can’t see how I would enter the bill reference code and some bills I have don’t have an IBAN either
I am also wonderig if or when Revolut will introduce a payment method offering something like a “reference code scan” as Swiss banks do. Every Swiss individual faces that issue.
If you do have the IBAN and BIC you could mention the reference code in the remarks. But the payee won’t be very happy.
this won’t happen any time soon since Revolut still relies on second party payment processors (the currency cloud) which don’t even offer local CHF payments.
Furthermore, the comment section is used to fill “Revolut” in it.
I see a chance with ISO 20022 coming mid 2020.
see also https://www.paymentstandards.ch/de/home.html. It is questionable for to put money in a local payment system which will be changed soon. Ok, not that soon, but more Apple payish soon
If we get a QR-Rechnung Scanner, that’s another story.
I think indeed for swiss customer that it would be a high plus to have a scanner for those BVR. I am using it monthly like many if us. It avoid to fill the reference, the account etc. We do not have all the time the IBAN on those BVR.
An other topic would be the ebills standard, it is also more and more commun to use this methodology that helps to gain time with monthly payments.
I wouldn’t hope for Revolut doing something in swiss market anytime soon. In 2016, they said individual IBAN for swiss customers are “around the corner”, it’s 2020 and there’s still unclear how to topup in swiss francs and there’s absolutly NO movement what so ever.
Check out swiss competitors instead… Eg. neon is now using Mastercard-exchange rates, supports eBill, and will support the new QR-Codes, too - Zak is closing in on all these items, too… Even the “plattform”-pay services are being implemented. “Traditional Banks” are starting (slowly but steady) moving, too…
Except holding several currencys on a prepaid-card (and having a dedicated yet not too expensive EUR/GBP/USD/aso-account, there’s literally no reason for swiss customers to use revolut anymore (I’m sorry to say, i was hoping for a good service from revolut, I liked the service! But empty promises - sorry, can get these from traditional swiss banks anytime i want!)
Unfortunately yoi can’t have the eur or usd account with neon, for the rest I fully agree. What i prefer on revolut is the budget allocation. Hooe to see that in the newr future by neon
