3 companies send money from Switzerland to Somalia, across in person, and more.
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/SOS rate.

Swiss banks can make SEPA payments in euros, but CHF transfer to a SOS 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.
