I only see free UK and EUR accounts.

Does this mean, sending you CHF money on a UK and EUR account, for which a FX is made, from there a EUR to CHF in a local swiss shop, where once again an FX is made.
Is it like this? When yes, this does not make sense.

Do you offer a CHF account, how much do they cost?

Hi xesades

Revolut offers a base-account with CHF for free (at least I don’t have to pay anything for it :wink: Card costs shipping-fees only…

Of course, you can open other currency-accounts; for the euro-account, you’ll get your own IBAN.

Downpart for the CHF-account: Top-Up can be very costly. Unfortunatly, you’ll have to use SWIFT (or your already existing card - pls. check SWITZERLAND - Most cost-efficient top-up methods for infos on how much a top-up method will cost with which card; there are cards that don’t cause fee).

It is possible to top up via EUR/SEPA, but then, as you mentioned, there will be the loss at the currency-exchange CHF->EUR…
