About payments in Switzerland
What is TWINT?
TWINT is Switzerland's national mobile payment app, owned jointly by Swiss banks. It enables P2P and P2M payments via phone number or QR code. Adoption is very high — ~5M active users in a country of 8.7M.
Why is Switzerland crypto-friendly?
FINMA (Swiss financial regulator) was an early mover on clear crypto rules. Zug's 'Crypto Valley' hosts many blockchain companies. Several payment processors licensed in Switzerland offer crypto-fiat conversion, custody and merchant services with clear regulatory standing.
