and 3 tips for you!
Yuh was born out of two very well-known Swiss financial institutions and aims to combine 3 things in one app: Pay, Save and Invest.
What emerged from the collaboration of Swissquote and Postfinance you will find out in this Yuh test. How the Yuh fees compare, where you are better off using other providers, and how our Yuh App Experience in detail, you will read in the next 5 minutes.ย
So that you can have positive yuh experiences yourself, there are 3 Tipsto get more out of the app!

In addition, with our Yuh Promo Code Even 250 Yuh Swissqoin will be credited automatically if you have deposited more than CHF 500!
With the Yuh app, you can conveniently and with a single provider manage your Savings and Investment account receive, in the Pillar 3a provide for and even Payments make. Since the integrated pillar 3a was added to the 2023 pension plan, banking, investments and pension provision are offered in full at Yuh.ย
Regular updates and new features (such as Savings plans from CHF 25 or the Yuh Pillar 3a) are launched and the app is continuously optimised. Those who had their first Yuh experiences at the launch now benefit from significantly more functions within the app.
The Yuh fees are flat or at least very simple and straightforward. The transparency of the costs, as well as the design, appeal specifically to young customers.
The conclusion of our short version: Yuh.com makes it easy to get started with investments in shares, ETFs or cryptocurrencies. Savings goals can be set up quickly and the banking offer is attractive. If you have a growing or larger portfolio, you are more likely to switch to other providers in the long term due to the fees (perhaps Swissquote itself) change.
Nevertheless, the app can be a supplement thanks to Yuh ETF savings plans or quick access to cryptocurrencies. Our Yuh review is therefore consistently positive.
All details and explanations following!
If only it were that simple! No custody fees, no account management fees and no fees on payments within Switzerland. That's how the yuh fees are advertised.
You probably remember that the Swiss Investment App was not launched by Caritas. So let's take a closer look at Yuh costs and identify typical fees:
Our conclusion on yuh fees: They are uncomplicated and fair for the offer (savings plans etc.). However, you should avoid regular purchases of less than CHF 100, as otherwise the costs will be too high in percentage terms due to the minimum fee. If you make a savings plan, choose a savings instalment of CHF 500 or more if possible. Then you will be travelling very cheaply. If this is too much, you can, for example, only make a purchase every quarter instead of every month.
Action: Get trading credits of CHF 50 for free with our code!
In addition, with our Yuh Promo Code Even 250 Yuh Swissqoin will be credited automatically if you have deposited more than CHF 500!
The Yuh app has a simple structure. You can also hear this in other Yuh Bank experiences. In addition to "Pay" and "Save", there is also a tab for Yuh Investments. Here you can choose between a one-off investment or so-called "recurring investments", i.e. a savings plan.
The complete Yuh ETF list can be found directly in the app or on the website. The selection includes popular global ETFs, Swiss indices and thematic investments.
A yuh Savings plan is possible from CHF 25 and can be triggered either weekly or monthly. The perfect way to avoid having to worry about whether now is the "right time". There is never such a thing, and you can spread your timing risk perfectly with a savings plan. ETF savings plans are very popular, unfortunately only rarely available in Switzerland and therefore a great advantage in the trading app, which was founded by PostFinance and Swissquote, but is now fully owned by Swissquote!
2022 were recorded at Yuh Fractional Shares launched. What does this technical term mean? Let's say you want to buy Lindt and Sprรผngli shares. Just 1 of these shares costs about as much as a sports car. Does that make sense for a beginner? Probably not, as that would be "all your eggs in one basket".
When you buy shares or other securities at Yuh, you can either buy a "number" in units or buy a "value in CHF".
So instead of buying 1 Lindt share for around CHF 110,000, you switch to the "Value in CHF" tab and buy, for example, 50 shares for CHF. This fraction of the share is called a "fractional share" and Yuh Bank takes over the denomination for you.
Yuh Themes or trend themes are ETFs or baskets of shares on a specific topic. You can invest in e-mobility or blockchain, for example. Investments in thematic funds sound exciting and are popular in marketing departments, but you should treat them with caution. My personal experience is in line with the statement in this Fintool videoswhich I would be happy to recommend to you if you are interested.
The Swissqoin SWQย has risen in value by around 70% since its launch! It could therefore be interesting not to sell the Swissqoins you have received, but to hold them instead.
With Yuh, there is currently no interest on your savings! As soon as interest is available again: It is important to note that you will need to transfer the money to a Yuh Saving pot have to move. You can create these with one click under the "Save" tab in the app.

Investing is fun with attractively designed trading apps, but at some point the time comes for the Taxes. At the latest then one or the other thinks about why one has so casually executed countless trades on the couch.
With some providers, this would be madness when it comes to tax returns. Fortunately there are a free Yuh tax statementwhich you can use for your tax return.
Thisย Yuh test already running since day 1 of publication. Since then, many new functions have been added, the app has reliable works and also the Yuh experiences from readers were extremely positive.
The transparent Yuh fees make it easy for users to see where costs and fees apply. Thanks to our tips, you can test Yuh and not only save on fees, but also Swissqoins as a gift via the Refer a Friend programme. Overall, the offer at Yuh Gebรผhren is extremely good value compared to similar providers.ย
However, if you are looking for a broader product selection and more trading functions, you may be better off with Swissquote better off by themselves.
Which feature would be particularly important to you in the Swiss investment app? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
Internationally in use, Revolut vs Yuh would probably be cheaper. For customers from Switzerland with main expenses in Swiss francs, will be Yuh probably more attractive be
There is no clear winner in the Yuh vs Revolut duel. Both providers have no deposit fees and offer free cards. Yuh offers a free cash withdrawal every week, while Revolut provides a flat rate worldwide.ย
With our code (not otherwise), Neon also gives you a free card. Both Swiss fintechs offer free cash withdrawals. For transfers abroad, Neon is much cheaper. In return, Yuh convinces with investment accounts. Both providers have savings targets since Neon Spaces.
The overall Yuh rating is good and positive. Users appreciate the user-friendliness and the comprehensive functions. Yuh experiences show that many praise the ease of use and low fees.
Yuh share fees are 0.5% per transaction. Yuh crypto fees are 1.0% per transaction. Both fee structures are competitive compared to other providers.
The Yuh account experiences are predominantly positive. Users report a reliable and secure online bank throughout Switzerland. The Yuh Bank Switzerland experience confirms the high security standards and reliable support from Swissquote and PostFinance.
Yuh will soon be offering a special Yuh youth account designed for young users. It will include all basic banking functions. Yuh for kids is a good option for families who want to encourage early financial literacy.
Unfortunately, the Yuh share register is not yet available. It is also not yet known whether the function for entries in the share register will be developed in the future.ย
Some users have occasionally reported Yuh App issues, but overall the experience has been stable and reliable.ย
Yuh itself is not a bank โ all banking services are provided by Swissquote Bank Ltd, which is regulated by FINMA. Your deposits are protected up to CHF 100,000, and securities are considered special assets.
Important to know: In 2024/2025, there were several phishing attacks on Yuh customers. In September 2025, Kassensturz reported on cases in which customers lost sums of money, some of which ran into five figures. According to its terms and conditions, Yuh accepts no liability for unauthorised access.
Protect yourself: never click on links in emails, and never share your Yuh Key or SMS codes. Yuh Apple Pay, Google Pay and TWINT are securely integrated into the app.

Where can I get this free tax statement? I can't generate it without incurring costs (CHF 25).
Kind regards

Yes, this new Yuh eTax tax statement unfortunately still costs CHF 25 at the moment, but hopefully it will soon be free of charge. The eTax statement (is basically a PDF that you just have to upload with your tax return and everything is automatically recorded) is worthwhile if you have made a VERY large number of trades etc. Otherwise you can do without it if necessary.
Hello Eric
I'm following your tip with the Core-Sattelite strategy. Core is in ETFs with True Wealth, and I have just opened a Yuh account for Sattelites. The interface is clearly laid out.
But I was surprised that you can only buy a small selection of shares. Especially when you study the various financial blogs and websites, it would be nice to be able to buy less well-known CH shares.
Yuh has its own investment portfolios, but they cost over 1% per year. True Wealth seems to me to be more favourable for investing in ETFs.
I also think it's a shame that you can't set stop limits when buying shares. I would like to see automation so that I can automatically buy a stock when it falls below a limit. So I would say that Yuh is less suitable for active trading. But for me as a beginner, it's probably a case of "back and forth empties your pockets" anyway.
Hello Klaus,
Thanks for your feedback! Absolutely, "back and forth empties the pockets", that's why I stick to passive investing with ETFs.
Yuh offers quite a good selection here. Ultimately, however, Yuh is a platform for beginners and belongs to Swissquote and Postfinance. Swissquote will therefore always remain the more "professional" platform with more features and more products etc.
Hello, I have a pillar 3a account with YUH with the Feurig strategy and I would be interested to know how quickly a change of strategy is implemented for pillar 3a. I have only found the information that the change takes place on Thursday. Does this mean that if the stock markets crash, you have to wait until Thursday and then switch to the daily prices of the following Thursday?
In the 3a, such active trading should be avoided - after all, your investment horizon is usually very long.
A long-term strategy should take centre stage.
All in all, a good bank for trading with a user-friendly app.
I've been with Swissquote for 10 years - but as a normal investor, Yuh's offering is sufficient for me, and the essential functions are also available.
But you also have many advantages.
+ Free credit card with multiple currencies
+ No custody account fees
+ Sufficient investment offer
+ Competitive interest rates on cash
+ Clear app without a lot of bells and whistles
Disadvantages
- High exchange fees (0.95%)
App certainly still has room for improvement (performance display missing, for example)
With the code at the opening you will receive free cryptos (Swisscoins)
Hi Eric, thanks for your interesting blog. I already have NEON and am very happy with it. Now I've also opened a Yuh account and wanted to enter the code YUHFRANKE. The app simply skipped it. I couldn't enter the code anywhere and the support chat insists that you can only use the code during the opening process. Do you have a tip for this or are we both now looking down the tube?
Hello Pete,
Thank you for your positive feedback on the blog! ๐
It's a pity that it didn't work with Yuh when you opened it. I can ask if there's anything I can do to get it credited anyway.
Kind regards,
Eric
Hello everybody
It says that if you have a growing or larger portfolio, it is better to switch directly to Swissquot, for example. my question now is how do you define large? What amount are we talking about here? 10,000 or 100,000? You also say that it is better to buy in larger amounts, but not so often, from 500 and more because of the fees, which I find a lot as an inexperienced person in this area. Are there any things to bear in mind when investing so much money where?
Hello Maurice
There is definitely a lot to consider. It is therefore essential that you "invest" some time in your financial education before you invest large sums of money. Here you will find a first guide, or feel free to come to the next FinanceTimetable Course.
