There are a number of TWINT apps available that can be connected to your bank account and are thus an alternative to using the instant top up function in the prepaid app.
Topping up with a waiting period
With a waiting period of up to four working days regardless of the top-up amount, you can top up your credit (via direct debit) with a number of other banks.
You can find an overview of all the options on how to top up your TWINT Prepaid credit here.
To do this, select ‘Deposit slip’ in the ‘Top up credit’ menu. Complete the form and you will subsequently receive your personal deposit slip via e-mail. Order your bank to execute a payment in e-banking.
You can also set up a standing order or use the deposit slip on multiple occasions. You will receive a notification as soon as the money is received by TWINT. This generally takes up to three working days and then the amount will be credited to your TWINT account.
Alternatives without a waiting period
Direct connection
By establishing a direct connection between TWINT and your bank account, the amount is debited directly from your bank account.
The following banks offer this function:
How it works
- Select your bank’s TWINT app or the UBS TWINT app (neutral for all customers using credit cards) in the App Store or in Google Play.
- Follow the instructions in the onboarding process.
- Save your account or your credit card for direct connection.
