TWINT

TWINT is a Swiss mobile payment app that allows users to pay with their phone, transfer money, and even scan invoices. The app is linked to a bank account or credit card and can also be used in a prepaid version.

For consumers: You download the TWINT app, link it to your bank account or credit card, or choose the prepaid option.
• At checkout or in-store:
• For an online payment, select TWINT as the payment method.
• Scan a QR code or enter a 5-digit code in the app.
• Confirm the payment via PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition (depending on your device).

For webshops: TWINT provides an integrated and mobile-friendly payment method for Swiss consumers.

In Switzerland, TWINT is accepted in many places:
• Physical stores, supermarkets, markets, vending machines, parking meters.
• Online in webshops — TWINT is accepted by a large share of the Swiss market.

Note: TWINT focuses on the Swiss market, meaning it is suited for consumers with a Swiss bank account and for webshops serving Swiss customers.

Payments via TWINT are fully secured thanks to:
• Biometric verification (fingerprint or facial recognition);
• PIN verification for every transaction;
• Encryption through the connected Swiss banks.

Additionally, Buckaroo processes all transactions in compliance with PCI DSS standards for maximum payment security.

For consumers, regular payments via the app typically involve no additional fees.
For webshops, costs may vary. At Buckaroo, you pay a fixed fee of CHF 0.25 per transaction and a variable fee of 2.70%.

TWINT is the standard in Switzerland:
• Reach over 6 million users;
• 84% of online shops accept TWINT;
• Secure payments via biometric verification;
• Payments from one of Europe’s strongest purchasing-power markets.

By adding TWINT to your checkout, you immediately increase your Swiss conversion rate and customer satisfaction.

• Suitable: for webshops with Swiss customers, stores in Switzerland, and mobile-focused check-outs.
• Less suitable: for webshops with customers exclusively outside Switzerland. TWINT requires a Swiss bank account or customers in Switzerland.
