Transfer abroad in 3 steps

01

Payment order

You have a GCHB account and place a payment order with us in the target currency. For payment orders in non-negotiable currencies (see currency codes in the Fee Schedule), you need an account in CHF, EUR, USD, or GBP.

02

Account debit

We debit your account, exchange the order currency into the target currency, and transfer the payment to the beneficiary bank.

03

Bonus

This credits the amount to the beneficiary without further conversion and therefore without any exchange rate loss.
