The benefits at a glance
Our popular Travel Cash card is now called Travel. The prepaid card can be topped up in Swiss francs, euros or US dollars and used worldwide in shops and on the Internet as well as at ATMs to withdraw cash in the respective local currency. In case of loss or theft, it will be replaced immediately free of charge worldwide. Travel is available at various outlets, at almost all banks or SBB.
Life is the universal prepaid credit card for everyday use, which you can use in shops and on the Internet worldwide. The card can only be debited if a credit balance has been loaded onto it. This keeps spending under control at all times. It is the ideal solution for those who do not have a credit card or do not want to use it on the Internet. Life is available in the Swiss Bankers online shop and at various outlets.
Life Digital is a purely digital prepaid credit card for the smartphone. You always have it on you – without a wallet. You can order Life Digital via the Swiss Bankers app and activate it immediately on your mobile phone.
The top-up limit is higher than with other Swiss Bankers prepaid credit cards. This way, with Prime you benefit from even more flexibility. Prime is available from selected private banks.
