You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
LittleMissMC has got two trips to Switzerland this year - just wondering whether, post Covid, she needs to take any real Swiss money or whether everything is done on cards over there now?
Someone on here will know, I'm sure.
When I lived there it was slightly behind the UK for card payments and there was always some of the smaller places only used cash. I suppose it'll save a bit on transactional charges if you have cash.
I was there in Feb in the ski resorts and everything was card. I had a little cash but more for tips and there were a few pop up cafes etc that weren't doing card. You'll manage without but a few francs would be useful just in case.
Revolut!
We were there last summer and the summer before (yes we managed to escape during covid). Everywhere was pay by card. It's not Austria!
99% by card. Very occasionally somewhere might only take a debit card, not a credit card. Always good to have a little cash as back up, just in case. 100chf would be fine.
It’s not Austria!
Yep, it's like going back to the 80s in Austria.
Revolut lets you preload it and seems better for exchange.
There are many here who would possibly get a "finder's fee" if you used their code. Myself included.
I live in Switzerland and as mentioned you can pay pretty much everywhere by card now. Some parking meters are cash only and you might need a 2 franc piece for a supermarket trolley but in general it's fine. I still use cash in bars (by choice) and for tips mainly.
We were there for 10 days and on the last day finally tried to spend the 80CHF we had from 6 years earlier, only to find out that the notes were no longer legal tender.
