 From Your App's Wallet

## How SBB Switzerland Launched  
 Its Own Branded eSIM App With ZIM



Case Study



### 1.2M Daily Passengers

SBB, Switzerland's national railway, serves over 1.2 million passengers every day. Beyond tickets, it offers extra services such as travel insurance and mobile top ups. In partnership with ZIM Connections, SBB added eSIM connectivity to that range through its own white label eSIM app.



### The ZIM Solution

ZIM built ZIM@SBB, a fully branded native eSIM app for SBB's passengers. Travel data now sits naturally alongside SBB's insurance and top up services. ZIM runs the technology and connectivity end to end, while SBB owns the brand, the app and the customer relationship.



### The Result

SBB became a connectivity provider without building telecom infrastructure or hiring a development team. It promotes the app through its own marketing channels, opening a new revenue line and giving its travelling audience one more reason to stay in the SBB ecosystem.

Market Overview

## White Label eSIM App  
 Use Cases by Industry

How four kinds of brand turn their audience into connectivity customers with a branded eSIM app: the opportunity, the play, the flow and what each side gets out of it.





Segment

Mobility & transport

Captive travelling audiences

The opportunity

Travellers still face expensive roaming or hunt for a local plan on arrival. Every journey booked through you is a moment when they need data abroad, yet that spend goes to carriers instead of the brand that carried them.

The play

Railways, airlines and mobility platforms with travelling customers monetise the journey with a branded app (cf. SBB).

Flow

1. Reach travellers in-app
2. Offer destination data
3. Activate before travel
4. Manage usage in-app

Why it works for you

Monetise the journey you already own. Sell connectivity alongside tickets and passes, reach passengers at the moment of travel and open a recurring revenue line with no telecom infrastructure or dev team.

What your customer gets

Data ready before they board, with no roaming bill shock and no physical card to swap. Plans for 200+ destinations, with top ups and usage managed in the same app they use to travel.



Segment

Light MVNOs

Mobile brands without infrastructure

The opportunity

Roaming is still one of the most expensive and least loved parts of a mobile bill. Travel eSIM is growing fast, and brands with an audience can capture that spend without building a network or negotiating carrier deals.

The play

Launch a full connectivity product under your name. ZIM runs the backend; you own the brand, the app and the audience.

Flow

1. Your brand & app
2. ZIM runs the backend
3. Customers self-serve
4. You scale the base

Why it works for you

A complete eSIM app for telcos and MVNOs, live in weeks. ZIM runs provisioning, carrier relationships and Level 2 support. You set retail prices on top of wholesale rates and keep both the margin and the customer.

What your customer gets

A modern mobile brand built around the app, with instant eSIM activation, transparent pricing across 200+ destinations, and self serve top ups, wallet and usage tracking.



Segment

Retail Brands

Retail and e-commerce chains

The opportunity

Your shoppers travel, and most still pay roaming fees or buy connectivity from someone else. A branded eSIM app turns that recurring travel spend into a new category you can sell to customers who already trust you.

The play

Turn a large, loyal shopper base into connectivity customers. A fully branded eSIM app marketed to people who already buy from you, with top-ups, wallet and usage built in.

Flow

1. Brand the app
2. Promote to shoppers
3. Customers activate eSIM
4. New recurring revenue

Why it works for you

A new product customers buy again and again, promoted through the channels and loyalty schemes you already run. Higher lifetime value per customer, with no inventory and no telecom operations.

What your customer gets

Affordable travel data from a brand they already buy from, bundled with rewards or promotions, activated in seconds and managed in one app.



Segment

Loyalty & rewards

Programs, clubs and member bases

The opportunity

Members want rewards they actually use. Roaming costs are a pain point on almost every trip abroad, which makes travel data one of the most tangible perks a programme can offer.

The play

Add a branded eSIM app as a high-value perk for your members, a useful, high-frequency service that deepens engagement and opens a new revenue line.

Flow

1. Brand the app
2. Offer to members
3. Members buy & top up
4. Higher engagement

Why it works for you

A perk that's used often, not redeemed once. Drive app opens and redemptions, fund it as a points reward or sell it at a member price, and add a revenue line alongside engagement.

What your customer gets

Free or discounted data abroad as a member benefit, with no roaming charges and instant activation across 200+ destinations, all inside the programme's own app.
