Paying the Registration Fee

To pay the Registration Fee, parties are invited to use the following bank account details:

All payments must be made in Swiss Francs (CHF) and received net of any bank charges. V.A.T. at the standard rate of 8.1% applies if the parties are domiciled or provide its business activities in Switzerland.

When making payments within Europe, please always use the IBAN and BIC to avoid additional third-party charges and to ensure the amount is credited to the beneficiary more quickly and securely. We also recommend using IBAN for all Swiss payment transactions.

Any payment, such as the payment of a Registration Fee, a Provisional Deposit, or a deposit, must be made directly from an account held in the name of a party to the case (including in the case of a group of companies). The Secretariat may reject any payment not directly received from the parties to the case without providing reasons for that determination.
