Can I get my SwissPass on my phone?

SwissPass Mobile lets you show the public transport travelcards on your SwissPass card conveniently on a digital device (e.g. smartphone or tablet). Various Swiss transport company apps already support SwissPass Mobile, including SBB Mobile and SBB Mobile Preview.



Yes, you can use SwissPass Mobile to have your digital travelcard or pass directly on your smartphone. To set this up in 2026, you need the SBB Mobile or SBB Preview app and a verified SwissPass login. Once logged in, you can activate the mobile version in the "Tickets & Travelcards" tab. During inspections, you simply open the app to show your digital QR code. It is important to note that you are responsible for ensuring your phone has enough battery and a functioning display; if you cannot present the digital pass and do not have the physical card, you may be charged a processing fee. While the physical card is still mailed to you as a backup, the mobile version is the primary way most travelers in Switzerland now manage their Half Fare Travelcards, General Abonnements, and even regional leisure passes.
