Your very own Swiss IBAN!

A Swiss IBAN in your name, allowing you to send funds from your usual bank, choose when to convert them, and then transfer the converted amounts to your bank accounts. All within a 100% secure Swiss framework.

Whether you are a private individual or a business, you have a Swiss IBAN (CH) assigned to your name.

This IBAN is:

  • personal and registered in your name,
  • directly linked to your b-sharpe account,
  • not shared.

It acts as a single point of entry for your funds: you send them from your usual bank, they can remain available without being converted straight away, and can then be transferred after currency conversion.

With the b-sharpe personal IBAN, you can keep using your usual bank. You don’t need to change your banking arrangements or open a new account for day-to-day use.

In practical terms, funds are transferred from your current bank to your b-sharpe IBAN, without any additional steps or the extra charges associated with traditional banking channels.

You save time and significantly reduce the cost of your foreign exchange transactions, with savings of up to 80% compared to traditional banks.
