TWINT has surpassed 6 million users as of mid-year, marking a new milestone in its adoption across the country.

More than 6 million people in Switzerland now use TWINT to make payments via smartphone and to transfer money to friends, family and acquaintances.

The app is accepted by a wide range of merchants, from restaurants and market stalls to online shops and public transport providers.

Markus Kilb, Chief Executive of TWINT, said:

“We are delighted that more than 6 million users now benefit every day from the flexibility and digital sovereignty that TWINT offers them. Our goal remains to make life easier for people in Switzerland through digital payment innovations.”

While the app is most frequently used at cash registers, TWINT is also commonly used for buying public transport tickets, paying for parking, and shopping at small local or specialist retailers.

Alongside growth in overall user numbers, existing customers are increasingly using the app across more aspects of daily life.
