Financial apps and digital money services in Switzerland.

Seven approved records cover one direct digital bank, two finance apps whose accounts sit at named Swiss banks, one Lithuanian bank, two e-money or payment-account models and a crypto platform. The app name alone never determines which bank, scheme or asset protection applies.

Direct answer

Alpian, neon/Hypothekarbank Lenzburg and Yuh/Swissquote are the Swiss deposit paths here.

Alpian is the direct bank. neon is a fintech app, but its approved personal account is held at Hypothekarbank Lenzburg. Yuh is not itself a bank; its banking and financial services are provided by Swissquote Bank. Eligible balances at each exact Swiss bank can receive esisuisse treatment, subject to product eligibility and aggregation.

Revolut's current Swiss agreement instead contracts with Lithuanian Revolut Bank UAB and points to Lithuania's deposit scheme. Wise safeguards ordinary balances as a Belgian payment institution. PayPal calls the wallet balance electronic money. Coinbase serves Swiss residents through UK company CB Payments Ltd for the cited services. None of those last three models becomes a Swiss bank deposit because it can receive Swiss francs.

Low-fee everyday appCompare neon and Yuh, but aggregate protection at Hypothekarbank Lenzburg or Swissquote.
Travel and currencyCompare Wise, Revolut, neon and the Swiss bank apps by exact FX, card and ATM conditions.

Product classification

The account-holding institution matters more than the app label.

Swiss coverage starts by resolving the legal bank, payment institution or crypto provider before comparing product features.

01

Direct Swiss bank

Alpian SA is listed by FINMA and holds the customer deposit relationship itself.

02

App with partner bank

neon and Yuh are not banks; their cited deposits sit at Hypothekarbank Lenzburg and Swissquote Bank respectively.

03

Foreign bank or payment model

Revolut uses a Lithuanian bank contract, while Wise and PayPal retain payment or e-money structures.

04

Investments and crypto

Assets in custody, funds, shares, pension products and tokens do not inherit adjacent cash deposit protection.

Protection boundary

CHF 100,000 follows the customer and exact Swiss bank.

esisuisse describes protection up to CHF 100,000 per customer and per bank. That means multiple accounts at the same institution are added together. A neon customer must count other eligible deposits held at Hypothekarbank Lenzburg. A Yuh customer must count other eligible deposits at Swissquote Bank. The app presentation does not create another limit.

Alpian is its own bank relationship for this comparison. Coverage still depends on the balance being an eligible deposit. Securities, custody assets, investment mandates, crypto, pillar 3a and other separate products have their own legal and insolvency treatment.

Revolut Bank UAB states a separate EUR 100,000 Lithuanian scheme for eligible deposits. esisuisse separately warns that a virtual Swiss IBAN or correspondent account does not make the end customer a depositor of the Swiss bank. Swiss-looking payment details therefore cannot be used as shorthand for Swiss deposit insurance.

Alpian deposit

Confirm the exact deposit product and combine all eligible customer balances at Alpian.

neon deposit

The bank is Hypothekarbank Lenzburg; eligible neon and other deposits there aggregate.

Yuh deposit

The bank is Swissquote; eligible Yuh and Swissquote cash deposits share the same limit.

Non-Swiss or non-deposit balance

Revolut, Wise, PayPal and Coinbase require their own exact entity, scheme and asset analysis.

Eligibility

Residence, age, identity, acceptance and product choice still control access.

A published app page is not an approval promise. Alpian describes its product as a Swiss bank account and separately controls onboarding. neon's approved account requires the relationship with Hypothekarbank Lenzburg. Yuh publishes a Swiss account and also lists additional opening conditions for residents of France, Germany, Italy, Austria or Liechtenstein. Revolut's personal terms normally require adulthood, identity verification, beneficial ownership and an accepted account application.

Wise, PayPal and Coinbase each gate functions by residence, identity, customer type, funding method, currency and compliance review. Business accounts are not interchangeable with personal accounts. Card access, cash balances, digital assets, investments, joint accounts and pension products can each have narrower requirements than the main app signup.

Read the Revolut reviewRead the Wise review

Fee snapshot

“Free account” never means every card, cash, FX or investment action is free.

Alpian's schedule effective 15 February 2026 lists its multicurrency bank account and virtual cards as free, while a metal card, cash withdrawals, some outgoing payments and investment mandates have separate charges. neon free has no base fee, but its first card, domestic ATM use, foreign cash and card conversion can cost extra; plus, global and metal use different monthly prices and benefits.

Yuh lists a free Swiss IBAN, account management and debit card, one free Swiss ATM withdrawal per week and a 0.95% currency-exchange fee, alongside separate transfer, investment, crypto and pension charges. Wise lists free registration and holding, a CHF 8 card and variable conversion or transfer fees starting from 0.23% for eligible routes. The PayPal consumer fee page is live but shows a 2021 update date, so this hub does not treat it as a complete current schedule. Coinbase fees remain transaction- and asset-specific and must be checked in the final preview.

Payment rails

SIC, instant payments, QR-bill, TWINT and cards are infrastructure—not universal promises.

Official records establish Swiss market systems. Exact participation, account support, direction, identifiers, screening, timing, limits and fees still need provider-level evidence.

SIC

Switzerland market context only. Confirm the exact account, issuer, participation, direction, currency, limits, screening and current price before relying on it.

SIC Instant

Switzerland market context only. Confirm the exact account, issuer, participation, direction, currency, limits, screening and current price before relying on it.

QR-bill

Switzerland market context only. Confirm the exact account, issuer, participation, direction, currency, limits, screening and current price before relying on it.

TWINT

Switzerland market context only. Confirm the exact account, issuer, participation, direction, currency, limits, screening and current price before relying on it.

card

Switzerland market context only. Confirm the exact account, issuer, participation, direction, currency, limits, screening and current price before relying on it.

SIX states that SIC settles Swiss-franc obligations and that instant customer payments can reach another participating account within ten seconds around the clock. That description does not prove every app can send instant payments. TWINT likewise spans bank-linked apps and a prepaid model; the issuer, linked account, eligibility and limits still differ. QR-bill is a billing standard, not evidence that a named provider accepts cash or supports every payment direction.
