SmartStudents is free of charge. Avoid fees with ease by paying attention to the following:
- Manage your accounts digitally. We only charge you the CHF 5/month fee for the paper-based option if you expressly request this option when you open the account, or you do so later in online banking (e-finance) or in the app.
- PostFinance will not charge you any fees for cash withdrawals made using the PostFinance Card or by credit card internationally. Third-party fees are, however, possible and are not reimbursed by PostFinance.
- With the savings account, keep to the number of debits and the maximum amount you can withdraw from that account each year free of charge. Ten withdrawals (i.e. transactions, transfers or purchase) a year are offered free of charge, and a maximum of CHF 100,000 without any withdrawal notice on your part. After that, you will incur fees.
- Avoid cash withdrawals with a credit card. You will incur low conversion fees for purchases in foreign currencies.
