SIC Instant Payments: Impact and Lessons Learned from Phase 1 Implementation
Instant payments were successfully launched in the Swiss market on August 20, 2024. Around 60 financial institutions, as part of Phase 1, are now able to receive and process instant payments, covering more than 95% of Swiss retail payment transactions, according to SIX Interbank Clearing Ltd (SIC Ltd).
"This market launch represents a further important milestone and reflects the collective stakeholder commitment to the future of cashless payments in Switzerland", said the Swiss National Bank (SNB).
In the coming months, roughly 260 more banks will announce similar services, and all financial institutions in Switzerland are expected to join by the end of 2026 as part of Phase 2.
