Pay at the cash register

You can pay with UBS TWINT at many cash registers using the QR code at the payment terminal. The cash registers at Coop and other stores are already equipped with TWINT payment terminals. To pay, simply activate Bluetooth, open the app and briefly hold your smartphone to the TWINT terminal.

You can also pay without a payment terminal by using TWINT QR codes. More and more farm shops in Switzerland offer this option.

Only pay for the parking time you use

Parking meters now take more than coins: simply scan the QR code on the meter. For first use, enter your car license plate. Next, in UBS TWINT select the length of parking time and confirm the payment. If you get back to your car earlier than expected, you can cancel the paid parking time and TWINT will refund the difference.
