How to spend these benefits?

You cannot pay directly with your Swile Card at general retailers (Décathlon, Go sport, etc.). In this case you will have to pay with your bank card and request a refund. Your personal Swile account will be credited within 48 hours. To do this, click on your Mobility wallet and then on Refund request. If you want to know more about refund requests, go here!
Public transport subscription.
Your company is required to reimburse you for at least 50% of your public transport subscription.
We’ve made this process even easier! Activate your personal account, credit it with the amount payable by you and pay your subscription directly via your Swile Card. Automatically, 50% of your subscription will be debited from your mobility account and 50% from your personal account. No more paying out of pocket or sending invoices to your company.
If you have already paid for your public transport subscription, you can also send us a refund request directly through your Swile account.
