How to send money from Switzerland to South Korea

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is Regency FX at 9,783,642.33 KRW 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.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

TWINT won't do this, it's for paying people and shops inside Switzerland.

Verify and send

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.

Ways to send money from Switzerland to South Korea

5 companies send money from Switzerland to South Korea, across broker, app, online, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

For one-off transfers

Online 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 9,760,797 KRW.

The fee is 32.32 CHF, with a -0.04% on top of CHF/KRW rate.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account is useful if you earn in Swiss francs but spend money in KRW (be it payments or travelling).

Wise converts CHF 6,000 with a -0.04% exchange-rate markup and lets you hold CHF and KRW in one account.

For regular transfers

Money transfer apps

For the monthly transfer to family, money transfers apps are the easiest to start with.

Wise charges fr.32.32 on a fr.6,000 transfer, and the money lands next day.

You can also save recipients and create automated scheduled transfers to South Korea.

You can’t make deposits with TWINT, but instead you can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

For large CHF transfers

Currency brokers

Private banks can usually do this too, but brokers streamline the process and you also get an account manager to handle the transfer.

For example, if you are buying property in South Korea or moving your wealth, a broker like Regency FX charges no fee and works on a margin instead (0.27% on CHF/KRW).

I suggest , since the more KRW you send the better rate you get.

Brokers charge no fees, so settle with the one that gives you the best CHF/KRW rate.

For companies paying across borders

Global accounts

Converting every payment separately adds extra work for Swiss businesses with regular costs in South Korea.

A global account lets you hold KRW alongside CHF and pay from the balance.

Wise Business, WorldFirst and Airwallex offer multi-currency accounts with business payment tools.

Ways to fund CHF and receive KRW in South Korea

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending CHF 6,000 gives your recipient 9,783,642.33 KRW.

The transfer can be paid for by bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

You can pay from your Swiss bank account

Send CHF to the account details provided by the company.

Use the exact reference so it can match the payment to your transfer.

TWINT is mainly for payments in Switzerland, so it does not replace an international transfer to South Korea.

In South Korea, they can get KRW delivered as bank deposit.

Things to know before sending CHF to Serbia

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.

Compare CHF/RSD transfer options

For a CHF 6,000 transfer to South Korea, these are the best options in our comparison.

Cheapest way to send money to South Korea

The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 9,783,642.33 KRW, which is 0.23% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to South Korea

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 9,568,547 KRW in within minutes.

Switzerland is in SEPA, but CHF is not a SEPA currency

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

Gift tax depends on your canton

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.

Money transfer protection

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.
