UBS Optimus Foundation Charity Card Visa

Identical to UBS Optimus Mastercard. Same charitable support, different network. Comes as dual-card set.

The UBS Optimus Foundation Charity Card Visa mirrors the Mastercard exactly: same CHF 100 fee, same charitable contribution, same basic features. The cards come as a dual-card set, so you get both networks for one annual fee. Your network usage is purely about preference.

Does Network Choice Actually Matter?

In Switzerland, Visa and Mastercard acceptance is virtually identical. Both work everywhere. Since neither card offers rewards or insurance, the network choice has zero impact on value. Both cards support the same UBS Optimus Foundation charitable mission.

The dual-card set means you have both networks available. Use whichever you prefer for any given transaction.

What Actually Stands Out

Everything matches the Mastercard version. CHF 100 annual fee covers both cards. Same charitable contribution to UBS Optimus Foundation. Same basic payment functionality. No rewards. No insurance.

Apple Pay and Google Pay work on both. 1.75% FX fee. Additional cards cost CHF 25.

What Most Reviews Miss

The products are interchangeable. Both networks deliver identical value and support the same cause. Use whichever card fits the situation. The meaningful decision is whether purpose-driven banking matters to you, not which network to prefer.

The value is charitable contribution, not card features.

The Bottom Line

Same charitable card as UBS Optimus Mastercard, on Visa network (or use both via the dual-card set). Compare alternatives in our best credit cards in Switzerland guide.

Verdict: Same purpose-driven value. Use whichever network you prefer; both support the same cause.
