Sonect

Sonect operates in the financial technology sector, providing a unique cash withdrawal service through a network of over 2,300 partner shops in Switzerland, with plans to expand throughout Europe. The company serves individuals who need to withdraw cash without the hassle and fees associated with traditional ATMs. By leveraging local businesses as cash points, Sonect offers a convenient and cost-effective solution for cash withdrawals. The business model involves charging a fee per cash withdrawal, while sending cash via Sonect remains free of charge. This fee structure allows the company to generate revenue while maintaining a competitive edge as the cheapest alternative for cash withdrawals from third-party ATMs. Sonect's clients include everyday consumers who prefer the convenience of withdrawing cash from local shops rather than hunting for a bank or ATM. The company ensures data security through PCI DSS compliant payment processors or bank-level security measures.
