    The rules to follow<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • The account must be in the name of whoever holds the 1pay.ch account: the person for sole traders, the company for limited companies, the association for associations.<\/li>\n
    • The holder’s name must match exactly the one registered with the bank, otherwise the bank may reject the transfer.<\/li>\n
    • A QR-IBAN cannot be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Several currencies<\/h2>\n

      You can have one account per currency: CHF, EUR, GBP and USD. You then choose the Default currency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • If you take payments in a currency for which you have no account, the amount is converted to the default currency at the day’s rate, with a 2% conversion fee.<\/li>\n
      • For Pay Plus payouts in USD to an account outside the United States, a 1% fee is added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        If you often take payments in euros, an EUR account saves you money.<\/p>\n

        The payout description<\/h2>\n

        Under Payout description<\/strong> you choose the text that appears on your bank statement, such as \u00ab1pay Shop\u00bb. For Pay Plus payouts only the first 22 characters count, for Pay up to 140.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
