Business accounts for Swiss GmbHs and AGs
Swiss companies can choose between Swiss banks, with esisuisse depositor protection, and e-money accounts such as Incard that pay cashback and hold GBP, EUR and USD.
By the editorial team. How we make money.
Incard suits you if
- You spend thousands a month on cards, especially on advertising, software or travel
- You want EUR and USD IBANs alongside GBP
- You're a UK LLP or sole trader, or a Swiss GmbH, AG or sole trader
- You're comfortable with safeguarding instead of FSCS cover
cashback a year on Incard's £0 Free plan from £5,000 a month of eligible ads, software and travel spend. Simple arithmetic, not a forecast.

A Swiss GmbH or AG needs a business account for its share capital and day-to-day payments. Swiss banks offer depositor protection through esisuisse; e-money accounts safeguard your money instead.
Incard accepts Swiss GmbH and AG businesses, with GBP, EUR and USD IBANs and cashback on eligible card spend. It doesn't list a CHF account, so many Swiss businesses run it alongside a Swiss bank account.

- Your business is registered outside the UK and Switzerland. EEA onboarding is paused until an expected restart in 2027
- You're a charity, cooperative, foundation, trust or public body, or work in one of Incard's restricted industries
