General information, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Verify current terms and eligibility with the provider before applying.

Yes. Wise Business serves businesses in Switzerland. You can register online as a sole trader or an incorporated company, create a Swiss franc balance, hold and convert more than 40 currencies, and receive account details in several regions. There is no monthly fee, only a one time setup fee of about 55 CHF and per transaction pricing.

Does Wise Business serve business customers in Switzerland?

Wise offers its business account to companies and sole traders registered in Switzerland, and the account opens online without a branch visit. Wise is an electronic money institution rather than a bank, so it provides payment and currency accounts rather than lending or overdrafts. For most Swiss freelancers and small companies this is enough for invoicing, paying suppliers, and holding foreign currency. Because Wise is not a Swiss bank, balances are not covered by Swiss deposit protection, so confirm how your funds are held before you move banking across.

Eligibility for businesses in Switzerland

You normally need a registered Swiss business, identity documents for the directors and significant owners, and details of what the business does. Wise restricts some activities, including adult content, gambling, weapons, and cryptocurrency trading, so a business in one of those sectors may not qualify. Incorporated companies sometimes face more checks than sole traders. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

Wise Business has no monthly account fee. Registering a Swiss business account carries a one time setup fee of about 55 CHF. After that you pay per use: currency conversion is charged as a percentage that varies by currency, and some payment types carry a small fee. Holding money in your account is free. As of 11 June 2026

What local users report

Swiss users commonly praise the low cost of currency conversion and the speed of online setup. The main points to check are that Wise is not a Swiss bank, so balances do not carry Swiss deposit protection, and that it does not offer lending or a cash deposit network. Businesses that need those keep a separate Swiss bank relationship.
