Has anyone here used a Swiss bitcoin ATM i.e. from SBB or Bity, for example? Is it quick and straightforward?

I bought some bitcoin using the Bity ATM at the Zurch HB. Actually the whole process was more time consuming than I expected. I had to let the machine scan my passport, which I felt a bit uncomfortable with. I also had to enter a fair bit of personal information.

It was ok, but nowhere near as quick and simple as withdrawing or depositing cash at a bank ATM. Obviously it is a whole different animal.

Maybe the SBB vending machines are simpler. I haven't tried them yet. Will give it a bash sometime just for shiggles.
