Sending limits

Your sending limits are determined by your chosen payment method. You can add multiple payment methods to effectively increase your limits.

Payment methods and their limits:

  • UBS account: CHF 5,000 per calendar month
  • UBS credit or prepaid card: Limit of the relevant card, or up to a maximum of CHF 20,000 cumulative for all UBS cards in your UBS TWINT App.
  • Third-party credit or prepaid card: CHF 500 per calendar month, up to a maximum of CHF 5,000 per year

Other limits:

  • Payment to private individual: CHF 3,000 per payment

Important: For a lower sending limit, you will need to choose an account as a payment method where no more than your preferred limit is available. To do this, you can easily open a new private account in E-Banking or Mobile Banking. Alternatively, you can load a prepaid card with your preferred limit and use it as your payment method. You cannot set individual limits in the UBS TWINT App itself. 

Receiving limits for individuals

Limits on amounts received are determined by your chosen payment method.
