Switzerland's SIC system, operated by SIX Interbank Clearing on behalf of the Swiss National Bank, processes CHF payments in real time and is one of the most efficient RTGS systems in the world. Geneva and Zürich host global private banking giants such as UBS and Credit Suisse (now absorbed into UBS) alongside hundreds of cantonal and private banks, making Switzerland a premier jurisdiction for wealth management and cross-border CHF flows.

You need the IBAN (CH-prefix, 21 characters), the BIC/SWIFT code, and the beneficiary's full name and address. Switzerland uses IBANs universally; the old 9-digit account number format is no longer accepted for international wires.
CHF wires typically settle same-day if sent before SIC's 04:30–16:15 CET operating window. EUR wires use TARGET2 and arrive the next business day. Non-CHF/EUR currencies take 2–3 business days depending on the correspondent route.
Yes. Switzerland's anti-money-laundering framework (AMLA) and FINMA regulations require banks to apply enhanced due diligence for large or unusual cross-border transfers, which can add a day or more to processing if documentation is requested.
