In general, Swiss employers require a Swiss IBAN for salary payments. Revolut has been offering one for quite some months now. However, they still require/recommend to fill in a 'reference' field whenever you're topping up your account via bank transfer. It'd make for a very weird conversation with HR if you wanted a specific reference field in your payslip. On the other hand, I'd love to ditch the expensive Swiss retail banks.

Any thoughts?

Transferwise will let you top up or receive funds with only your name and IBAN, no additional reference

You could try Neon-Free.
It's an online bank account guaranted as any other "normal" one for 100k by the Hypothekarbank.

Once you get paid on Neon, you can easily transfer money by debit card on revolut.

If you are interested in a 10chf initial bonus I can send you my referral code.

Normal Swiss banks don’t have a 100k guarantee like you think....

Isn't it something guaranteed by law?
Anyway with neon/hypo it should (as they say)
