Payment testing notes for Switzerland
- Currency: CHF (Swiss franc). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card authentication: Switzerland is not bound by PSD2, but EU banks and card networks still require SCA/3-D Secure for EU cards used at Swiss shops, so Swiss gateways support 3-D Secure 2. Source
- Card country: Geo checks match the issuing country of the BIN (CH) against IP and address. Generate one batch with a local BIN and one with a foreign BIN to cover both outcomes.
- Debit vs credit: Debit makes up just 32% of the ranges here, below 50 of the other 62 countries we cover. Debit and credit often follow different rules for refunds, installments and recurring billing, so cover both types.
- Billing details: postcodes in Switzerland are 4 digits, numbered west to east (shared with Liechtenstein) (e.g. 8001); phone numbers use +41 — Mobile numbers start with 075, 076, 077, 078 or 079 (07x xxx xx xx).
- TWINT mobile payments are widely used next to cards.
Paying online in Switzerland: local methods and gateways
Cards are only part of the picture. These payment methods are popular in Switzerland and usually sit next to the card form at checkout:
- TWINT (wallet) — Swiss mobile payment app: the shopper is redirected to their bank's TWINT app or scans a QR code on desktop; CHF only. Source
- PostFinance Pay (wallet) — PostFinance's app-based online payment that replaces 'PostFinance Card' and 'PostFinance E-Finance' in shops by the end of 2026. Source
- Klarna (BNPL) — Pay later or in instalments; Switzerland is a supported customer country. Source
- PayPal (wallet) — PayPal wallet, available to Swiss businesses and buyers. Source

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate a Switzerland credit card number for testing?
Yes. Pick a bank from Switzerland (the default is Corner Banca, S.A, BIN 419372) and the tool builds Luhn-valid numbers on that prefix, with expiry and CVV. Nothing is attached to them, so any real charge is declined.
Which card networks are most common in Switzerland?
By BIN count in our data: Visa 33%, Mastercard 26%, Diners Club 14%, Maestro 14%. Debit ranges make up 32% and credit ranges 64%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from Switzerland start with?
Examples from different banks: 419372 (Corner Banca, S.A.); 440653 (Topcard Service, S.A.); 478283 (CBH - Compagnie Bancaire Helvetique, S.A.). See the Switzerland BIN list for every bank.
Which currency should I use to test payments from Switzerland?
CHF (Swiss franc). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). Shoppers with cards from Switzerland can still be charged in other currencies; their bank converts the amount.
Is a generated Switzerland card number a real card?
No. The first six digits are real Switzerland bank prefixes, the rest is random, so the number belongs to nobody and every live payment fails. For real online payments in Switzerland, ask your bank for a virtual card or a wallet such as TWINT and PostFinance Pay. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
How do people pay online in Switzerland besides cards?
TWINT: Swiss mobile payment app: the shopper is redirected to their bank's TWINT app or scans a QR code on desktop; CHF only. PostFinance Pay: PostFinance's app-based online payment that replaces 'PostFinance Card' and 'PostFinance E-Finance' in shops by the end of 2026. Klarna: Pay later or in instalments; Switzerland is a supported customer country.
