Stop letting bank fees cut into your budget
For an NGO, transparency and sound management of donations are vital. Traditional banks apply hidden margins and transfer fees (SWIFT) that significantly reduce the amounts allocated to your missions. Discover the difference:
| Traditional Bank | ibani for NGOs | |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange margin on donations and transfers applied during fund conversion | 1.5% – 3.0% | max. 0.4% |
| Sending fees to foreign projects issuance or SWIFT correspondent fees | CHF 15 – 40 per transfer | CHF 0 |
| Multi-currency receiving accounts to facilitate local donations from abroad | Paid foreign currency accounts | Included, unlimited |
| Transparency for auditors and donors Applied rate and fees clearly identified | Low (rate often hidden) | Total (detailed exports) |
| Monthly account maintenance fees | CHF 10 – 30 / month | CHF 0 |
