My short experience is that most US banks will charge you more on exchange
rates than Swiss banks. What may appear like a good deal, like C2IT with
Citibank, is in fact a disguised way to collect $$ on the exchange rate with
an additional low fee upfront. Read the fine print, do the math... and
evaluate. C2IT has a maximum transfer amount of USD 2000.- every four
business days.
A typical Swiss bank like UBS will charge you a CHF 10.- fee to cash a paper
check drawn on a US bank, and give you very good exchange rates (buy v.
sell).
Sending in a paper check might seem a little old fashioned, but it works and
it's the cheapest.

Antonello,
It is possible to register and use www.c2it.com,
a Citibank service to transfer money anywhere in the world.
SWITFT number can be obtained with

There is no other number necessary, beside the account Nr.
