How do I send money with Via Express?

How does sending at an agency work?

Come in with a valid ID and your recipient's details. Hand over the amount you want to send, and you receive a transfer code. Share that code with your recipient so they can collect the money at a Via Express agency or partner location.

How fast does the money arrive?

Most transfers arrive in minutes. For cash pickup, your family can collect right away, or the following day depending on the destination. Bank deposits under CHF 2,000 are sent immediately; amounts above CHF 2,000 are processed within 2 working days.

How much does it cost?

Our fees are low and always shown up front, before you confirm. Compared to sending through your bank or credit card, you can save up to 90% on fees. You see the exact fee and exchange rate before you send, with no hidden charges.
