PAYMENT CARDS AND DIGITAL BANKING PAY THE RIGHT WAY ON VACATION
Where will your journey take you? Whether you’re in Switzerland or abroad, with
the right payment method, you can start to relax.
by UBS Insights 03 Jun 2022 5 min read

Vacation time at last! A chance to switch off and relax. When it comes to
payment methods, you’ll make your stay a lot easier if you prepare before your
trip. Our checklist contains tips on the right payment card, UBS Digital Banking
and other useful advice.
PLANNING BEFORE DEPARTURE
UBS Mobile Banking: Whichever payment card you want to use, the UBS Mobile
Banking App lets you keep an eye on your spending, adjust your card limit at any
time, block a card in an emergency or obtain a virtual additional card
immediately if required.
3-D Secure: Whether you want to book your trip with your card or buy an online
ticket for a museum on the move: more and more online stores now use 3-D Secure
as a confirmation method to ensure even more security. The easiest way to
approve payments is to have the UBS Access App installed on your smartphone.
Alternatively, you can approve payments using an SMS code. This way, you will be
fully protected against attempted fraud.
Foreign currency delivered conveniently to your home: Unfortunately, happy
vacationers can sometimes attract thieves. So it’s advisable to take as little
cash as possible, with just a reserve for emergencies. If you have a UBS
account, you can order around 75 foreign currencies outside of counter opening
times – easily and conveniently in UBS Digital Banking, at a UBS Multimat or by
telephone – and have them delivered to your home free of charge. The currency is
insured against loss and will normally be with you within two working days.
Prepaid card always topped up: Nothing is more annoying on vacation than getting
to the checkout only to find that the balance on your prepaid card is too low.
The solution? Before you travel, you can set your credit limit in UBS E-Banking
so that your card is automatically topped up whenever your balance falls below a
certain limit. Or simply add credit via the UBS Mobile Banking App on your
smartphone, without having to leave the beach.
Insurance services: Paying for your trip with a UBS Credit Card is not only
secure, but also advantageous: you will automatically be covered by accident
insurance while you're traveling. Depending on the credit card, you can also
benefit from higher insurance sums and other free additional insurance coverage.
UBS CREDIT CARDS AT A GLANCE
UBS Credit Cards meet a wide range of needs and offer many additional services.
Do you need a new, different or additional credit card? You will find the right
solution in our comparison.
To overview
MOBILE AND CONTACTLESS ON THE MOVE
UBS TWINT: More and more people and businesses appreciate cashless and
contactless payments. If you’re on vacation in Switzerland, you can now make
this type of payment in more and more stores thanks to UBS TWINT. This makes it
easy to split bills between friends or family members. Have you already
installed and activated the app on your smartphone?
Digital Wallets: Register your credit card on your smartphone to make secure,
contactless and convenient payments with your phone or smartwatch. With Apple
Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay, practical and secure solutions are available
for almost every smartphone.
Contactless card payments: You can pay for smaller purchases of up to CHF 80 in
Switzerland without entering the PIN code at the payment terminal. This applies
to debit, prepaid and credit cards.
MOBILE PAYMENTS: ALL THE OPTIONS AND DETAILS AT A GLANCE
Do you want to find out which choices are available for making mobile,
contactless and secure payments? We’ve put together an overview of all the
solutions and details for you.
To overview
OPTING FOR THE RIGHT CARD
The card with an attractive exchange rate: In addition to the UBS Classic Credit
Card, the UBS key4 prepaid card is ideal for globetrotters and frequent
travelers. This card makes sense due to the attractive exchange rate and the
lack of processing fees for anyone who spends more than CHF 2,400 in foreign
currency with their card each year. It makes no difference whether you are
shopping in foreign currency online or abroad in person.
The card you can't lose: Our virtual credit card can be ordered in seconds in
the UBS Mobile Banking App or UBS Banking. Save it to the mobile payment
solution (Wallet) of your choice – including your smartwatch if you wish – and
you’ll have it literally to hand for all your payments when you’re on the move.
Debit card for cash withdrawals: It is not advisable to carry too much cash when
on vacation. Besides, more and more stores around the world want or even require
payment by card. If you run out of cash in a foreign country, the cheapest way
to replenish your funds is to use your debit card at an ATM. With the UBS me
individual banking package, you have the option of selecting the cash withdrawal
module worldwide. This includes four CHF withdrawals from ATMs of other banks
and two withdrawals from ATMs abroad per month. Did you know that the new UBS
Debit Cards Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit can also be used to make online
payments and registered for 3-D Secure?
ALWAYS IN LOCAL CURRENCY
One last tip: when paying by credit card, some hotels and stores offer you the
possibility to pay the amount in Swiss francs right away. As a rule, however, it
makes sense for you to choose payment in the foreign currency, as the conversion
applied abroad is often based on a poor exchange rate and you will sometimes
also incur fees in the process.
