Accept Visa online, at the terminal and by phone
Credit and debit, Swiss customers and tourists. With Click to Pay, customers who have registered their card pay without typing their details again.
Why activate it
Essential with tourists
Visitors from abroad often do not have TWINT: a card is what they always carry.
Click to Pay
Registered customers pay without entering their card details: fewer steps, fewer abandoned payments.
More security with 3-D Secure
Many online payments ask for the bank's confirmation, and fraud disputes go down.
