... Question for any who have opened a PostFinance account: Did you walk out with a Maestro (or some other debit) card? (One of my purposes for opening an account is to be able to pay for things while I'm in CH without having to carry too much cash, and I'd like to know whether they give a card immediately, so you can begin paying from the new account without delay.)
The PostFinance card (yellow ATM card that most merchants accept as debit card) is posted to your account address. The card is sent about 1 week after formalities are completed. The PIN code is subsequently sent by registered post also to your address.

Do you have a Swiss address?
