Transfer CHF from a Swiss bank account to IB (CH-IBAN)

I’m using Migros Bank

No surprise. That’s the one Swiss bank I remember someone on the forum mentioning that they charged international transfer fees even when transferring to IBKR‘s Swiss CH IBAN (though it is Citibank, so not wrong, technically).

Edit: actually, here‘s the original post.

If it happens again I’ll argue it’s a domestic payment to a US beneficiary’s bank account held at Citybank in London that is reachable through the Swiss domestic payment clearing system.

You‘d just be serving them reason & argument for charging international transfer fees on a silver plate:
Citibank is a foreign bank and you know it.

Honestly, I‘m not seeing much of a point - or prospect of success - in arguing about or putting up with such levels of assholery. Similar to an EU bank charging me higher fees for a SEPA transfer to CH than other EEA countries. I‘d just quit and close my accounts with them and move on.
