We replaced three banking relationships with one Alpenbank account. Our finance team closes the month in two days instead of nine. The API alone paid for the migration.

CFO, Helvetia Robotics AG

The FX transparency is the reason we switched. We can show our auditors the exact mid-market rate and the 18 basis points on every transfer. No other Swiss bank gave us that.

Head of Treasury, Lacus SA

Onboarding took eleven minutes. I timed it. Our previous bank took three months and two notarized letters. Alpenbank asked for the commercial register extract and we were live.

We issue 40 virtual cards per quarter for project budgets. Each one has a hard limit and a merchant whitelist. The spend data feeds directly into our accounting — no manual entry.
