Your finances under control - step by step
We'll show you what your financial setup should look like. There are many fee traps and if you don't recognise them, you're giving away a lot of money. In our comparison, you'll find a clear overview of all the information so that you don't have to trudge through factsheets and terms and conditions yourself.
But first of all: there is no such thing as the perfect all-in-one solution. The best solution is to use your personal account to pay your rent, collect cashback with your credit card when shopping and think about the right bank card for travelling abroad. Even more important are the fees when investing and making provisions - an expensive product can cost you hundreds of thousands of francs by the time you retire.

Rent etc.
You should primarily use the private account for domestic payments (e.g. rent, salary payments). Use an account with the lowest possible fees. You should avoid accounts with fixed costs.
Shopping
A cashback credit card is ideal for everyday shopping in Switzerland. You will receive a portion of your purchase amount back as credit with every purchase - cashback.
Saving
The nest egg (rule of thumb 3-6 months' wages) belongs in a savings account - preferably with interest. Also build up reserves for medium-term investments (e.g. a new car) or the tax bill. You should invest the rest via pillar 3a and free investments.
Promo Codes
Whenever possible, we negotiate exclusive conditions for you (e.g. a starting credit). We show you these benefits with this icon - a promo code has no influence on the rating.
Independence
Become Wealthy is completely independent. If you use one of our codes or links, we may receive a commission. We use this to finance the operation of the financial platform, for which we thank you very much. This has no influence on the rating, as we evaluate the offers using an objective evaluation matrix and the commission is not included as an evaluation criterion.
