Frequently asked questions

What do I need to open a bank account?

You only need to download the Alpian app and complete a sign up process of less than 10 minutes. During this process, you'll need a valid and original passport or Swiss national ID. A work permit is not allowed. After the account is open, make a first deposit of any amount to activate it.

How can we offer such low exchange rates?

High fees for paying and withdrawing money abroad can be frustrating. Alpian puts an end to exorbitant commissions and unfavourable rates by offering foreign exchange capabilities at one of the lowest fees in the Swiss market: 0.20%. This fee isn't about making a profit; it simply covers the exchange process. At Alpian, we're committed to transparency in pricing – we only charge you when a service demands our expert touch.
