Switzerland's large Indian professional and business community — particularly in banking, pharmaceuticals and IT — generates significant CHF-to-INR remittance flows. CHF wires exit via SIC (Swiss Interbank Clearing, operated by SIX) and route through UBS, Credit Suisse (now absorbed into UBS), PostFinance or Raiffeisen to an Indian bank via SWIFT, settling on RBI RTGS. CHF-to-INR conversion typically uses a USD intermediate. FINMA (Swiss financial regulator) applies strong AML standards; RBI requires FEMA inward reporting. Switzerland's high AML compliance standards mean the Swiss sending side is rarely a delay source. Track your UETR on Ohmyfin.
Settlement path: SIC (Swiss Interbank Clearing) → RBI RTGS / NEFT. Currency pair: CHF → INR.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) FEMA reporting requirement at the Indian receiving bank, (2) CHF-to-INR FX conversion via USD at the correspondent, and (3) FINMA AML compliance on new or large transfers from Switzerland.
If the payment has not arrived within 4 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
