How to make a payment

Pay with iSwiss Pay: SEPA transfer to a European IBAN, payment to an iSwiss client by email or phone, or a move between your own accounts.

From the Payments section you send money in a few steps: with a SEPA transfer to a European IBAN, to another iSwiss client or between your own accounts. Before you confirm you always see a summary, and at the end a receipt with the status and the reference.
