Handling of physical Reka-Checks
Handling of physical Reka-Checks
No, you are not obliged to give change in Swiss francs.
No, but you must verify that the packet is still intact and has not been previously opened. As there are different types of packaging with different denominations in circulation, please check the amount at the time of settlement.
You must send us the Reka-Checks for reimbursement. All the materials required for submitting the Reka-Checks, such as special envelope for valuable consignments and bordereaus = are provided free of charge.
Yes, so that we know who submitted the checks and what amount you sent us. You can either fill out and print the consignment note online in the customer portal or fill out the delivery bordereau by hand and enclose it with the checks you submit for reimbursement. Important: A receipt must always be enclosed with the checks you send for reimbursement.
In the customer portal under “Order materials”, you can request that these items be sent to you.
In order to avoid losses by post, the following rules must be observed when
sending Reka-Checks and Reka-Rail vouchers:
- Consignments of Reka-Checks totalling up to CHF 1,000 must be sent as registered “R” mail (letters with proof of delivery). Postal receipts must be kept. All losses must be reported directly to Reka (T +41 31 329 66 79 or kb@reka.ch). The shipping envelopes available free of charge from Reka must be used for mailing. Postage by registered “R” mail is reimbursed proportionally on an annual basis in accordance with the conditions defined at reka.ch.
- Consignments of Reka-Checks totalling between CHF 1,001 and CHF 10,000 can be handed in at the post office for mailing. Only special Reka mail sacks (available free of charge) may be used as the container for this type of consignment. Receipts stamped by the post office and including the consignment number must be retained. Consignments of this kind do not need to be franked. A list of all the post offices accepting such consignments can be found here.
- Consignments of Reka-Checks totalling between CHF 10,001 and CHF 80,000 must be sent by SecurePost (T +41 848 73 28 73). These types of consignments are collected by SecurePost at the domicile/office of the acceptance point and do not need to be franked. The relevant mail sacks can be ordered at the following location: post.ch/docucenter > SecurePost > Art. 213 472.
- Consignments of Reka-Checks totalling more than CHF 80,000 must be divided into several consignments, each of which must be accompanied by its own bordereau.
No, but here you can see which post offices do.
The amount is never reimbursed on a one-to-one basis because the commission is deducted from the amount to be paid. Sometimes there is also a discrepancy between the amount declared and the amount of the checks actually returned. Please note that if you send Reka-Rail and Reka-Checks in the same consignment, you will receive two separate payouts.
The payment serves as your confirmation. Should we find any discrepancies, we will inform you in writing.
We adjust for discrepancies automatically. You will be paid the amount that we have received in the form of checks.
