ibani student life support

Support student life on your campus

The ibani partnership benefits your school's entire ecosystem.

In addition to simplifying your students' lives, we actively contribute to campus animation. For every student sponsored through the partnership, a budget is allocated to the student association (Student Union/BDE) of your choice.

It represents a simple and transparent way to fund association projects or integration events without impacting the institution's budget.

FAQ for Institutions

No, absolutely not. ibani intervenes upstream. The student uses ibani to exchange their currency and then sends you CHF to your usual bank account (e.g., UBS, BCV, CS). This changes nothing in your existing infrastructure.

The ibani app generates an official and instant proof of payment (PDF) as soon as the transfer to the school is executed. This document is often required by authorities for visa issuance.

Minimal. We provide you with a communication kit (PDF, web link) to include in your admission emails or on your intranet. We manage all customer support with the students.
