PostFinance enables secure, fast, and direct payments via e-finance accounts or PostFinance Card. Online shoppers simply log into their PostFinance account to authorise payments, while in-store payments are made via chip-and-PIN or contactless card transactions.

For merchants, PostFinance guarantees payment authorisation, minimising risk and reducing transaction costs. It's a preferred method for Swiss consumers, offering confidence and convenience through a brand they know and trust.
