Serafe AG will continue to collect radio and television fees after 2025. The Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (Uvek) awarded the contract for the years 2026 to 2034 in a tender procedure.
The company’s offer had the best price-performance ratio, the Federal Office of Communications (Bakom) announced on Monday. According to the criteria in the specifications, Serafe AG, based in Pfäffikon SZ, achieved the highest score.
The company demonstrated that it has experience in debt collection, can ensure data collection and data protection, and has an efficient IT system. According to Bakom, Serafe will receive 158 million francs for the contract period from 2026 to 2034, or around 17.5 million per year. This is based on 3.7 million households subject to fees.
This means that Serafe’s payment is slightly lower than before. However, according to Bakom, this is not directly comparable. The new specifications do not correspond to the old ones.
