The final decision will be made by the Bank Council, with the winner to be announced in the first quarter of 2026.

The final designs in contention are B, G, H, J, K, and L. The SNB will now engage in discussions with the finalists regarding potential collaboration and commercial aspects. The new banknotes are not expected to be introduced until at least the beginning of 2030. It is worth noting that the designers of these final designs have not been publicly named by the SNB as of the latest news.

The SNB's new banknote series is set to introduce new designs by 2030, with the final choice to be made by the Bank Council following a public survey and external advisory board assessment. The finalists are designs B, G, H, J, K, and L, with the winner to be announced in early 2026.
