Budget control
The temptation to go over budget online is high. Aplauz puts you back into the driver’s seat, helps you monitor your spending, and set personal limits.
Convenience
Prepaid payment methods usually have fixed amounts (CHF 5, CHF 10, etc.). Aplauz lets you choose, even if you need a very specific amount (for example, CHF 17). Also, you are literally a few steps away from it: you can find it in a local store.
Safety
Not comfortable revealing your personal data online? Worried about financial fraud? You’re not the only one. In fact, studies prove that 41% of people stay away from online shopping to avoid potential fraud. Aplauz takes that concern away entirely, because it doesn’t need your personal or financial information.

whether you’re targeting a specific amount (CHF 17)
or a rounded number (CHF 20), the choice is yours.
But what happens when you end-up with some money
“leftovers” on one of your Aplauz codes?
Don’t worry, you can still use those credits by combining
different Aplauz codes numbers to pay online.
