@wapiti I doubt it but I will report back in a month. I am more interested if @hedgehog s new method causes any delayed fees.
Was the full amount transfer to IB ?
Jep, 39k sent 39k arrived not a rappen missing. I was quite surprised myself after the transfer from saxo was quite expensive.
There still might be a charge at the end of the month or something tho, gotta wait and see.

About a Month passed an I have not seen anything resembling fees on my account.
@wapiti Looks like it worked. It is also really fast, the notification from Raiffeisen about the transfer happening and the notification from IB arrive almost at the same time.

As mentioned in another thread, IB has now updated their instructions for transfers originating in Swiss accounts to target a CH IBAN, so no fees should be charged and transfers should be much quicker.

It worked for me two weeks ago.
Maybe a typo? Or a problem at PF? <= impossible ha ha
I’ve used the same template (based on @hedgehog info) for a year.
That’s probably it. I’ve already sent them message. We will see what they reply.
Last time I did a transfer (ie. less than a month ago), the CH IBAN IB gave was different than the previous times. Are you using the old one still?
Yes, I had cyclical deposit and used the same IBAN. Where can I get a new one? In Account Management?
Yes, just start a new deposit notification.

Hello mustachins,
Revisitng this old thread: do you transfer CHF or USD to the IB account?
I’m asking since for transferring USD they seem to use a for further credit to account with Citibank in New York.
Edit: indeed, to transfer CHF i am directed to their bank in London with an IBAN. Is this what you all use?
Depends on the currency that the funds currently are. As I‘m earning CHF as income, I mostly transfer CHF.
Swiss IBAN to Citibank‘s London Branch. Which is connected to the Swiss clearing system - thus it‘s a (in my case) free domestic transfer.
