Does Lili serve business customers in Switzerland?
No, not for a company registered only in Switzerland. Lili is a US financial technology company whose business account and tools are built around a United States registered business. It is not a bank itself, and the account is held with a US partner bank. Lili has opened to international founders, but the requirement is a business registered in the United States with a US tax identification number. A purely Swiss company without a US entity does not meet that requirement. As of 9 January 2026.
Why a Swiss company is not eligible
The block is structural rather than a temporary waitlist. Lili onboards businesses registered in the United States and verifies them against a US tax identification number and US registration, even when the owner lives abroad. A company that exists only in Switzerland does not have a US entity or US tax identity, so there is no path to a Lili account for it. If you separately form and register a business in the United States, that US entity could apply, but that is a different applicant from your Swiss company. Verify with the provider
Where this leaves a Swiss founder with a US business
A founder based in Switzerland who owns a business registered in the United States, with a US tax identification number, could be assessed on that US business rather than on the Swiss company. That is a different applicant from a company registered only in Switzerland, which is not eligible. Match the applicant entity to the requirement before assuming access. As of 9 January 2026
Alternatives that serve businesses in Switzerland
Because Lili is not available to a Swiss registered company, a business in Switzerland would look elsewhere. The right fit depends on whether you need local Swiss franc operations, multi currency collection and payments, or card and spend management. Confirm current availability and terms with each provider before applying, as of 9 January 2026.
