Transfer details
Start with the cheapest, which is Wise at 375,080.12 EGP for CHF 6,000 transfer.
Sending the same money as an international transfer from your Swiss bank costs 1 to 3% in the rate before any fee.
You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
TWINT won't do this, it's for paying people and shops inside Switzerland.
First time round you'll need a photo ID and your Swiss address.
Your may pause a first large transfer, it just means you need to submit more details to confirm it's really you.
4 companies send money from Switzerland to Egypt, across online, app, in person, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For one-off transfers
Online services like Wise are usually cheaper than Swiss banks for one-off and medium-sized transfers.
With Wise, 6,000 CHF gets your recipient 375,080.12 EGP.
The fee is 53.04 CHF, with a -0.02% on top of CHF/EGP rate.
For spending and receiving
A multi-currency account is useful if you earn in Swiss francs but spend money in EGP (be it payments or travelling).
Wise converts CHF 6,000 with a -0.02% exchange-rate markup and lets you hold CHF and EGP in one account.
For regular transfers
For the monthly transfer to family, money transfers apps are the easiest to start with.
Wise charges fr.53.04 on a fr.6,000 transfer, and the money lands within a week.
You can also save recipients and create automated scheduled transfers to Egypt.
You can’t make deposits with TWINT, but instead you can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
For large CHF transfers
Private banks can usually do this too, but brokers streamline the process and you also get an account manager to handle the transfer.
I suggest getting a few quotes before settling. Check with your private bank, TorFX, RegencyFX, Currencies Direct, and Key Currency.
Brokers charge no fees, so settle with the one that gives you the best CHF/EGP rate.

Send CHF 6,000 with Western Union online or at an agent in Switzerland.
Your recipient can collect 373,042.1 EGP in Egypt in minutes - 2 days.
For companies paying across borders
Converting every payment separately adds extra work for Swiss businesses with regular costs in Egypt.
A global account lets you hold EGP alongside CHF and pay from the balance.
Wise Business, WorldFirst and Airwallex offer multi-currency accounts with business payment tools.
With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending CHF 6,000 gives your recipient 375,080.12 EGP.

In Egypt, they can get EGP delivered as bank deposit, mobile wallet, and cash pickup.

The recipient should take a valid photo ID and the collection reference to a participating Western Union agent in Egypt.

The exchange-rate margin usually matters more than the transfer fee from Switzerland. Gift tax and account protection also depend on details that are easy to miss.
For a CHF 6,000 transfer to Egypt, these are the best options in our comparison.
Cheapest way to send money to Egypt

Fastest way to send money to Egypt

Swiss banks can make SEPA payments in euros, but CHF transfer to a EGP requires a conversion.
Same goes for TWINT and Swiss instant payments.
Money transfer companies can take these as funding methods (since accounts are in Switzerland) but then they switch to an internal network of accounts.
Switzerland has no federal gift tax applied on transfers abroad.
Most cantons impose their own rules, with the amount due usually depending on the value of the gift and your relationship to the recipient.
The federal Swiss authorities explain the cantonal rules here.
Do not assume every app used in Switzerland is FINMA-authorised or covered by Swiss deposit insurance.
Some services operate under a foreign licence, and a Swiss virtual IBAN does not by itself create Swiss deposit protection.
Eligible deposits at participating Swiss banks are protected up to CHF 100,000 per customer and bank, but esisuisse confirms that a virtual IBAN or correspondent account may fall outside that protection.
If you’re in doubt about a money transfer company or app, check the legal company behind the service in the FINMA register.
