SUISA

Switzerland's PRO + mechanical society handles Liechtenstein as well. Stronger local rate cards tend to put its per-stream payments above EU averages.

What SUISA collects

Performance royalties are collected by a performing rights organization whenever a composition plays publicly, including on radio, television, a stream, or at a live venue.

In Switzerland, SUISA collects public performance, mechanicals — Switzerland + Liechtenstein. SUISA was established in 1923 and reports approximately 40,000 members.

Joining SUISA

Joining cost: CHF 200 one-time. Royalties are distributed quarterly. You need an IPI number — the global identifier connecting a writer with their works, without which registrations cannot be matched to payments.

Where Davincii fits

Davincii doesn't file with SUISA directly. Your songs reach it through the reciprocal agreements of the societies we file with, and its payments come back to us the same way.
