Transactions in less than 10 seconds, 
operating 24/7/365

As the second wave of banks begins the final leg of the SIC Instant Payments (SIC IP) migration, they’re playing a vital role in maintaining Swiss banking global competitiveness. By migrating to SIC IP, banks will facilitate payments in as little as 10 seconds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This shift to instant processing aligns Swiss banks with financial institutions around the globe that have already made the move to real-time payments. While SIC IP promises to revolutionize the way funds are transferred between banks in Switzerland – and significantly improve the customer experience – banks transitioning during Phase 2 could face some critical challenges as the November 2026 deadline nears.
