    Isn’t Twint still going through Visa for the in-store purchase? I remember reading it somewhere, but can’t find the source for it unfortunately, but in general whenever it is an option I prefer that over other means of payment, the only strange thing is having a separate twint app for each bank lol

      Not sure if it’s a bank specific, but on my UBS account TWINT is linked to the VISA credit card account (and I don’t see any option to change that). So every transaction goes through VISA.

        Mmmm on my UBS account I have it connected directly to the account itself, you can probably change that via More --> Settings --> Manage payment methods

      Nope, Twint is connected directly to your Bank. Neither Visa, nor Mastercard nor anyone else is playing middleman. Every Swiss Bank has their own Twint App which directly connects to your account.

      When you pay at a store or person to person with Twint it’s a direct transaction.
